Chris Tait Boeken

Diablo is a book like no other. Springing from the fantastic imagination of Chris Tait it tells the story of Diablo an unloved chess piece. In a style that is inspired by everything from Lewis Carroll to Monty Python - with a few weird stops in between - it follows his adventures through a wacky fantasy landscape. The words are accompanied by a variety of images to help illustrate the depth and breadth of Chris's unique storytelling. It is a story of hope and a search for acceptance based on her own struggles that she hopes will help young people to realise that they are not alone as they come to terms with who they are.

The story grew out of a map that led to imaginary treasure, devised during a holiday in Scotland by Stevenson and his nephew. The tale is told by an adventurous boy, Jim Hawkins, who gets hold of treasure map and sets off with an adult crew in search of the buried treasure. Among the crew, however, is the treacherous Long John Silver who is determined to keep the treasure for himself.Stevenson's first full-length work of fiction brought him immediate fame and continues to captivate readers of all ages.
