Everett the main character of the story is playing 'Blind Man's Buff' with his friends on a large steep hill. When he tumbles down the hill he enters a magical world, where he encounters many strange characters in funny situations. The story has a dreamy quality and is entertaining for children of all ages. I highly recommend this novel.
Beyond a Large Steep Hill
By Leigh Belrose
While playing a game of ‘Blind Man’s Buff’ with his child friends on his Birthday, ten-year-old Everett loses his footing and tumbles down a large steep hill. From here on, a fantastical dream-like adventure begins.
In this surreal world, Everett encounters a pompous Lyrebird with unreasonable paradoxical questions, the eccentric Queen Star, Cassiopeia as she conducts the odd beauty lesson, The Hanged Man who only views everything from an upside down perspective, a disgruntled Cane Toad and his large possession of antiques, and in the strange case of mistaken identity, Everett, himself being confused as Goldilocks by The Three Bears, along with a plethora of other bizarre characters in strange and amusing situations.
