Doombad's Book of Rhymes sets out to explore the purpose of being, with a handful of specially honed characters who instead become entrapped by their disabling emotions. Replete with pointless misery and equally futile joys that grip their souls, the feckless crew embark on an adventure of self-discovery, to never discover the slightest thing. Flippant and serious, real and surreal, a warm insight into childhood, a glimpse of family life and a ribald comic journey where hope never ceases to triumph over truth. 28 episodes of varying length beautifully expressed with watercolour illustrations and a rhyming narrative, which echo early children's books. Featuring the infamous unclad Doombad with the box shaped head, Doom-mumÑthe Old Stick, the amorous Parrotox hybrid, the ambiguous Huturioee with the worms, the indifferent and absent Doom-dad, and Dress who won't be worn. 220 pages of escapades that will make you laugh and weep. 164 illustrations, 116 in full colour.
