Quote:The back-cover blurb on the copy I read described them as "feral, street-smart Peter Pans," and that about sums them up. Peter Pan with a switchblade knife on the streets of London (or any big city, really; there're Borribles everywhere). The police, at least in London, have a branch specifically dedicated to catching Borribles and clipping their pointed ears, which turns them (back?) into normal adolescent boys and girls. But their chief enemies are oversized rat-like creatures called Rumbles, who talk with an Elmer Fudd sort of lisp: "I am a Wumble, fwom Wumbledom, you howwible little stweet Awabs."
I don't think I've ever heard of "The Borribles", what's it about?
