The picaresque exploits of a knight on a bicycle...

The noble and chivalrous Don Cosquillas (more informally known as Arturo Risas of Madrid) hereby invites you to partake of his adventures as he roams with his trusty sidekick Sancho Panda over Spain and across Africa and all the way to India and the back of beyond.

Metafictional and ticklish, he assures you that he has your best interests at heart and if you care to accompany him through these pages you will be richly rewarded, though in what manner he is quite at a loss to specify.

No matter! Here be dragons, puppet masters, and all manner of curiosities and hobgoblins.

Rhys Hughes seems almost the sum of our planet's literature. As well as being drunk on language and wild imagery, he is also sober on the essentials of thought. He toys with convention. He makes the metaphysical political, the personal incredible and the comic hints at subtle pain. Few living fictioneers approach this chef's sardonic confections, certainly not in English. - MICHAEL MOORCOCK

If I said he was a Welsh writer who writes as though he has gone to school with the best writing from all over the world, I wonder if my compliment would just sound provincial. Hughes's style - with all that means - is among the most beautiful I've encountered in several years. - SAMUEL R. DELANY
