Michael de Larrabeiti

The Borrible Trilogy

  • The Borribles
  • The Borribles Go for Broke
  • Across the Dark Metropolis

Borribles are outcasts and runaways; they are skinny, scruffy, quick-witted, and their ears become pointed as soon as they take to the streets- a sign of their independence and intelligence. They dwell in the shadows of London, living by their wits and a few Borrible laws- the chief one being Don't Get Caught! Their greatest enemy is the SBG, the Special Borrible Group- a section of the London police dedicated entirely to finding them and clipping their ears back to a proper shape. For Borribles will live for ever unless their ears are cut... and then there is no way back. And a clipped Borrible is doomed to grow up like any ordinary human into a dull and adventureless adulthood. One night, the Battersea Borribles discover that their territory and way of life are under threat from the Rumbles- their ancient enemy. And that's when an elite corps of Borrible fighters sets out on what will become known in legend as 'The Great Rumble Hunt'. So begins the first of the three epic adventures in Michael de Larrabeiti's classic trilogy, where excitement, violence, low cunning, greed, generosity, treachery and bravery exist side by side. As the proverb says: 'If a Borrible don't look alive, he's very soon dead.'
