King of the Woods

One long summer two friends discover that their fantasy worlds are becoming a bit real, and that the real world has got rather fantastic until no-one is really sure which is which. For the next twenty years they try to recapture that summer and their imaginary enchanted woodlands in a Great Work of Art. Too bad they keep getting distracted and going to the pub. As well as taking you for a gentle ramble through their fantasy worlds, King of the Woods will teach you the secret art of making very loud explosions, you will meet the Thorn Witch who dances with the winds, a fox who is probably also a Prince and is in love with an Ice Maiden, an Austin Mini 850 held together with string and a Land Rover that hates roads, a life size working clockwork model of Jean Paul Satre and the worst heavy metal band in the West Midlands. King of the Woods is silly, mysterious, elegiac and a love story, though neither of the protagonists would ever admit it to each other.
