"You can`t expect an arse like me to tell a story competently. It`s all I can bloody do to work this foul machine. I`ve counted up the words processed, a thing I do every hour and, if technology can be trusted, it looks as if you`re in for 93,682 of them. Good luck to you. You asked for it, you paid me for it, you`re got to sit through it. As the man said, I`ve suffered for my art, now it`s your turn." So starts The Hippopotamus - a novel as surprising, entertaining and side-splittingly funny as you would expect from a man modestly described as having a mind the size of Kent.

They say Black Dow`s killed more men than winter, and clawed his way to the throne of the North up a hill of skulls. The King of the Union, ever a jealous neighbour, is not about to stand smiling by while he claws his way any higher. The orders have been given and the armies are toiling through the northern mud. Thousands of men are converging on a forgotten ring of stones, on a worthless hill, in an unimportant valley, and they`ve brought a lot of sharpened metal with them. Bremer dan Gorst, disgraced master swordsman, has sworn to reclaim his stolen honour on the battlefield.

Oscar Wilde is remembered today primarily as a brilliant and witty playwright and the author of the novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray. As a result, his shorter pieces of fiction have tended to be neglected, which is a shame for they not only display the same kind of scathing wit, imaginative flourish and engaging narratives as his other work, but present a wider range of subjects and ideas. As well as such comic tales as The Canterville Ghost and Lord Arthur Savile`s Crime, there are the marvellous fairy stories and fantasies such as The Selfish Giant, The Happy Prince and The Star Child. The challenge and pleasure of these stories is the simultaneous appeal to both child and adult with their themes of love, truth and sacrifice which are...
