Join Mrs Velociraptor, Mr Ceiling Fan, the Laughing So Hard Whiskery Catfish, Little Fork, Calonlan the Welsh Teletubby, and their comrades for a fantastic tour through floods of Australian tears, the lazy low down blues, workers’ rights, smelly angels and so much more. Steeped in the tradition of the Goons, Roald Dahl, Margaret Mahy, and the Goodies, The Uncle Butterfly Papers will take you places you’ll never forget!




"Maggie gives new meaning to the phrase ‘word play’, a gymnastic and dizzying array of language which she spins like discs on a stick, juggling them, somersaulting them, interrogating them, turning them inside out and upside down. Referencing all manner of popular and extremely unpopular culture, she literally plays with the words on the page. She fart arses her way through her lexicons, refusing absolutely everything: rules, politeness, linguistic paradigms. Her glorious clashes of meaning and metaphor are giving rise to a totally new and unique grammar. And she has created this rude, raunchy, desperately funny prose, poetry, limerick, song mash up that beggars belief in its virtuosity, scope, capacity for surprise and shock and delight." - Madeline McNamara
