Synopsis
Since time immemorial two insect tribes, the Scarabs and the Chafers, have lived peacefully side by side. One day, however, a strange object falls from the sky and lands right on the border separating their lands. Small, round and odd: what could it be? And, more to the point, whose is it? Since neither tribe will give up its half share to the other, conflict soon arises. Over many years, preparations are made for war. But when, at last, the two tribes march up to the border, they find that something has grown from the strange object, and it will unite rather than divide them. Isabel Pin has illustrated her profound story with surreal, lovingly detailed, imaginative and gloriously colourful pictures which ask to be looked at over and over again.
