''Two gargantuan, clawlike hands... '' <br>''Huge hairy arms with octopi suckers... '' <br>''A single bloodshot eye... '' <br>''He had done it... the Ribbajack was alive!''
Brian Jacques has assembled a superb collection of six short stories in the ''The Ribbajack & Other Curious Yarns''. This is a collection worthy of the twisted minds of children's authors Lewis Carroll and Roald Dahl if they had ever got together to write horror and suspense stories. Indeed, The Ribbajack pays obvious homage to Carroll's Jabberwocky. The monstrous "Ribbajack", product of a twisted child's making, is the stuff of nightmares and as frightening as any bogeyman my teenage son could conjure.
