Madcomhere (2010)

Madcomhere is a fun and peculiar creature who comes to life in three of Thorarinn Eldjarn’s hilarious books of poetry with stunning illustrations by his sister Sigrun Eldjarn: Madfly, World Ring and Comet. In Madcomhere life as we know it is turned utterly on its head and goes wild; cars turn into sofas on wheels, fire hydrants wear plimsolls, and cows hover over ice in a skating dance, to mention but a few incidents. Madcomhere is a poetry book that all lovers of original and fun verse will delight in.
