Stated first edition October 2010. “Ponthe Oldenguine is one part fictional biography of a former television impressario who claims he’s been hounded out of media history, and one part biography of the journalist commissioned to write his story. Where the tales merge, there is madness. Comic, curious, sometimes downright outrageous, Ponthe Oldenguine is a brain-trip through the forgotten archives of the BBC: Captain Crowface, Radio Cardboard Fox, and The Town of Theberton are but a few of the seminal programmes confined to the rubbish bin and now exhumed for your reading pleasure. Part 1984 and part Python, part slipstream, part realism, the life of Ponthe Oldengjine is an audacious attempt to restore the balance between sanity and insanity; illustrating what a thin line that can be. So, place your snout in the air, your hands on your tummy and dance. But read it and believe it at your peril.” IN STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE DESPATCH
