Description
xBogbrush seeks adventure on his family cow, while educating the reader Bogbrush, grandson of the fabled Bumrash, is a mighty warrior from the frozen north. He is a giant of a lad, with rippling muscles and a powerful sword-arm. He wears chain-mail underwear and a helmet with really big horns. Unfortunately, he's also very stupid. Mistaking-the-family-cow-for-a-monster kind of stupid.
But Bogbrush is determined to seek his fortune with undaunted courage (whatever that means). Crouched over his noble steed, Nobby, he sets forth on a heroic quest, traveling from the Temple of the Great Belch, where he battles a fiendish monster and encounters a terrifying gerbil, to a city in the far south where he attempts to pull a legendary axe from a rock and become the one true king. Fortunately, along the way, Bogbrush meets some fellow adventurers who have a little more between the ears. Together they must outwit a trickster, an evil sorcerer and tiny little ape-men, none of which is easy when you are "three buckets short of a cartload."
A sidesplitting epic adventure, Bogbrush the Barbarian also includes "educational" sidebars featuring words of the day, career tips, advice about guinea pigs and lots of other things you've probably never wondered about. You'll even learn to speak like a barbarian -- although, unlike Bogbrush, you'll actually understand what you're saying!

By Howard Whitehouse
xHoward Whitehouse is the author of The Strictest School in the World, The Faceless Fiend and The Island of Mad Scientists, which comprise the Mad Misadventures of Emmaline and Rubberbones series. He used to own a plastic viking helmet that sat on his head like a tiny horned eggcup because it had been designed for a small child. One day, when Howard wasn't looking, his wife threw it away. It is probably somewhere in New York's Hudson Valley, where he lives. Bill Slavin is the award-winning illustrator of over seventy books for children, including the Mad Misadventures of Emmaline and Rubberbones series. His career began at a young age when he wrote and illustrated "Zok the Caveman." The book was such a success in his grade three classroom that he promptly followed it up with "The Adventures of Black Cloud, Son of Zok." It is stashed away somewhere in his farmhouse in Millbrook, Ontario.
