Reflections of a Solitary Hamster

Author:  Astrid Desbordes
$24.99  Paperback
An existential comedy. It absolutely tickled my funnybone.

Kate de Goldi, Radio NZ
Synopsis
Give and take, laugh and reflect along with Hamster and his ever-patient friends…

The friendship between a group of forest animals is brought to life in this enchanting book of comic-strips. Hamster is the selfish and  narcissistic main character surrounded by affectionate friends who
love him, warts and all. We all have friends or family members like this, who we love in spite of their annoying characteristics.

Philosophical, ironic and terribly funny, The Reflections of a Solitary Hamster will appeal to thoughtful readers – young and old.
