Bestselling author James Davidge collaborates with a brilliant and diverse group of illustrators to produce a playful yet socially-concerned collection of comic and prose stories. What if the upper class of society started to collect and display the homeless as art? Could a sustainable farm be built on a defunct off-shore oil rig by utilizing guidance and funding from a talking goldfish? Can Davidge reconcile with his own youthful sins of pulling the hair of a girl he liked, taunting someone entirely undeserving and abandoning one of his best friends? Journey with ancient alchemist Hermes Trismegestus as he poetically presents these absurd tales of heart, humour and woe.
