LEIGH BELROSE

Beyond a Large Steep Hill

​

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.
