A Jackal And His Lawyer - Book 1
author & artist: Oliver Francisco
“I’m glad you’re not perfect, and it’s a good thing, too.
Because if you were, you wouldn’t be you.”
In a strange, mythical land full of talking animals and bizarre creatures, a jackal with amnesia wanders north. Unable to recall even his own name, he is driven onwards by his dreams, which hint at a great evil that must be destroyed..
He is befriended by Kort, a chubby little crow who is often mistaken for an owl. Kort is a lawyer and has a keen intellect, often using legalistic techniques to solve problems.
He also likes to tell stories...
The resourceful pair travel on, encountering many fascinating individuals - and dangers - as they journey towards their goal. Their adventures are punctuated by conversations that often veer into the philosophical, but in a light-hearted vein.
This is an engaging tale with captivating characters, combining humour, entertainment and poetry with more complex ideas. This would be an excellent choice as a present for a very bright child seeking something to stimulate the brain. It's a pretty good read for grown-ups too!
