HOLY RABBIT


	A preposterous fable (novel length, but short, at 200+ pages with illustrations), this book is literally tattooed with a running pictorial commentary that propels the text forward. The whole book is done by hand, including a text with letters in a hand-printed font. The plot involves the deterioration or invigoration (depending on how one looks at it) of society through the gradual and very plausible introduction of thinking, educated, articulate animals (much more believable than those in the TV ads) who eventually take over and save the world from the ultimate doom the human race seems determined to achieve. There is a massive dolphin conspiracy through which these aquatic mammals (much brighter than humans) control the course of all significant human activity. A three-color scheme (black, brilliant red and white) for text and illustrations intensifies the comic drama of this perhaps improbable tale. A perfect Christmas gift, albeit a book for all seasons. Ages 55 to 110, and younger.
