The Adventures of Barnaby Twickins (Threepenny Tales) (Volume 1)

On an unusually bright and blustery day, in a gloomy village in gloomy Slugleaden Vale in the North, Barnaby Twickins is born - and smiles, despite everything. 'The Adventures of Barnaby Twickins' is about a boy with a calling to make people laugh, who bravely leaves home to follow his dream of becoming a clown. Our Hero is a merry, plucky Boy who wants to entertain the World. A whimsical Tall Tale for all readers from age six up, Barnaby's jaunty, often tongue-in-cheek story takes place in a 17th or maybe 18th century fantasy world of lace and cauliflowers, clogs and fripperies. Readers will enjoy meeting Barnaby's assorted surprising Companions, as well as sharing his Adventures with their dash of Romance and twist of Absurdity. We love to laugh, we love to smile, And keep our aim in view: We’ll jest and jape and use our guile To make the world smile too! The Adventures of Barnaby Twickins is part of the Threepenny Tales series.
