The Guizer

Alan Garner
(HarperCollins Distribution Services)

Buy "The Guizer: A collection of stories about fools" on Amazon

A collection of fool stories from different mythologies: American Indian, Eskimo, Central European, Maori, Romany, African, British. The guizer appears in many forms - Ananse the Spiderman, Robin Goodfellow, Maui-of-a-Thousand-Tricks; each, says Garner, 'as full of contradictions as we are'. A rich source of thinking and talking.
