The beautifully crafted debut novel that brings the legendary, whimsical fantasy art world of New Zealand artist Ivan Clarke to life. The allegorical tale follows Arthur Snout, an orphaned hound growing up in the sharply divided seaside port of Alveridgea, where cats and dogs live on opposite sides of the tracks. Unfitted for traditional hound life, Arthur discovers a transformative gift for the "houndskiffle" blues, setting off an epic musical journey that will challenge boundaries and rewrite Alveridgean history. A prized, signed modern first edition perfect for collectors of fantasy fiction, whimsical art, and high-end New Zealand-connected literature.
