Into the Bewilderness

In the Bewilderness, life is good.

Best friends Luis (the large furry one) and Pablo (the small furry one) spend their days wandering through nature, playing songs on the guitar, and eating Slow Joe McNally's pinecone porridge with their neighbours.

When dreamer Luis receives an unexpected invitation to attend a performance of The Weary Mermaid in the big, bustling city, he finds it hard to ignore the allure of the bright lights.

Luckily, Luis doesn't have to go it alone – he has his grumpy but loyal best friend by his side. And that's a good thing, because it’s a long journey through the Bewilderness, and Luis has many questions. Will he and Pablo meet laser-eyed gargoyles, zombie chickens, or tyrannical cow rulers? Will they get there on time? Why is quicksand so slow if it's called quicksand? Thankfully, they will soon find out.

... Or will they?
