St Sukie's Lunatic Asylum for Demented Toys invites you to escape reality and plunge headlong into a surreal, whimsical adventure where demented toys find redemption in the care of eccentric clockwork nurses, and a tamarin monkey doubles as a mischievous assistant. This latest creation by St Sukie de la Croix, with mesmerizing illustrations by Roy Alton Wald, sweeps you into an asylum like no other, where the lost magic of childhood is alive and thriving.
For those whose minds still wander where they please, who dance to unheard melodies and laugh in the face of convention, this is your calling card. Will you join the ranks of the Auntie Mames, the dreamers who refuse to be grounded?
In St Sukie's Lunatic Asylum for Demented Toys, you'll encounter wild characters like Reverend Rupert Thorn, a snow globe collector who keeps Greek wrestlers in glass prisons, Nurse Gwen, who manages maniacal toy clowns, and even a poor rocking horse with a case of severe agoraphobia. Each page drips with humor, madness, and charm, brought to life in bizarrely beautiful detail.
Discover the secrets of the Frankenstein Room, where the vampiric teddy bear might just be due for a shock, and eavesdrop on the antics when an elephant starts singing in the larder. This world of mayhem and delight sits quaintly outside the village of *Icing-on-the-Cake*-and once you cross its borders, you may never want to leave.
Prepare for an unforgettable ride that will rekindle your sense of adventure and remind you why imagination is worth preserving. St Sukie's Lunatic Asylum for Demented Toys isn't just a book; it's a portal for those daring enough to dive back into the strange, unfiltered magic of childhood wonder.
