General Jack and the Battle of the Five Kingdoms

David Bush presents GENERAL JACK AND THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE KINGDOMS as a particularly peculiar piece of fantasy. Said to take place in the timeless gap between the sixth and seventh days of creation in Genesis, this book’s depiction of animals at war on the European continent, full of references to numerous historical battles and campaigns, shows how cyclical history can truly be, even from the perspective of Biblical prehistory. By Bush’s own admission, it’s both a fable and a parody, to quite interesting effect.
