About the Book

A richly funny and thought-provoking book of comic strips abut the friendships that animate a group of forest animals. Selfish but endearing Hamster is the book's main character, but his group of imaginative friends is just as interesting. Imagine a gourmand of a hamster who keeps a diary full of revealing exaggerations; or a mole who drinks tea and takes up novel writing; or a snails who ponders the meaning of life. It's all here and more!

Philosophical, ironic, and laugh-out-loud funny, Daydreams of A Solitary Hamster is sure to appeal to readers of all ages. Astrid Desbordes, who has a background in philosophy, employs her knowledge with great style and humor, infusing the book with a joyful spirit while meditating on friendship, selfishness and the power of dreams.
