A book for anyone who has ever had a beard (or seen one). On the island of Here, livin's easy. Conduct is orderly. Lawns are neat. Citizens are clean shaven - and Dave is the most fastidious of them all. Dave is bald, but for a single hair. He loves drawing, his desk job, and The Bangles. But on one fateful day, his life is upended by an unstoppable (yet pretty impressive) beard. An off-beat fable worthy of Roald Dahl and Tim Burton, The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil is a darkly funny meditation on life, death, and what it means to be different - and a timeless ode to the art of beard maintenance.
