      Barry Trotter is pretty disreputable and unpleasant. Imagine what he was like as a teenager. Here's the beginning of the whole sorry tale. Did Barry and Ermine do it? (Their homwork, that is.) How exactly did Lon end up with a hole in his head that whistles when the wind blows? Was Lord Valumart always that crass? And where did that ridiculous German accent come from? As funny and twisted as the first two books, BARRY TROTTER AND THE DEAD HORSE is also as affectionate towards JK Rowling's originals. This has lead to the books gaining a devoted following amongst fans of Harry Potter as well as being a welcome antidote for the over-egging (eeuwww) of the boy wizard. A process that we're not a part of at all. Oh no. Not even a tiny bit.

      ‘This is all the land of Blarnia,’ said the Faun. ‘From the traffic light in the western woods to the great castle of Cair Amel on the eastern sea, bordered on the south by Oz, on the west by Middle Earth, and on the north by Made-upistan.’‘I – I got in through the wardrobe,’ said Loo.Mr Dumbness looked at her in disbelief. ‘You got here through a wardrobe?’ he asked. ‘What are you, high?’ The explanatory title to this book is ‘The Lying Bitch in the Wardrobe’. This is all you need to know about it before diving inA much loved classic of fantasy literature written by a grumpy, pipe smoking don in a smelly tweedy jacket being turned into a massive worldwide cinema hit. Where have we seen that before? Lord of the Rings was, of course, immense when it got the Hollywood treatment. Narnia will match it. We sold more than 300,000 copies of BORED OF THE RINGS and followed this 160,000 sales of two associated Tolkien parodies. Now Mike Gerber moves on from his 500,000 copy BARRY TROTTER sucess to line up the next big target.

    • Eine geniale Parodie auf C. S. Lewis' Klassiker „Die Chroniken von Narnia“. Die vier Perversie-Kinder sind in einer wahrhaft misslichen Lage, denn ihre Eltern haben sie an einen schurkischen Professor vermietet. Doch bevor sie zu Opfern seiner grausigen Wissenschaft werden, stolpern die Kinder im Haus des Professors durch einen Kleiderschrank in eine verzauberte Winterwelt: das Königreich Blarnia. Dort stehen sie bald an der Seite des Katers Asthma, des rechtmäßigen Herrschers von Blarnia, im ewigen Kampf von Gut gegen Böse.
