Fantabulous Universe Summary

Fantabulous Universe by Jan Van Ryckeghem

A light-hearted collection of drawings and rhymes that reflect the complex and multi-faceted nature of the human condition in a humorous manner. || Open our book and savour each page, | Join our Fantabunals on a sunlit stage, | Happily sharing their inner lives - | Feelings of joy, passion and strife. || That's all it is, yet so much more: | A flow of verses and colours galore! | Enter our world of hues and stanzas, | A show just for you, an extravaganza! || Here you might find that you're not alone | In your hopes and dreams or fears and groans, | And in reading our rhymes (strictly no prose!) | May you find a moment of gentle repose.

Fantabulous Universe Reviews

In this book, the rhymes and drawings invite us to play with our perception. The author is painting with words and images creating a fantasy world that seems so real. Turning each page a genuine smile keeps appearing on your face. What can be better than that? Lelda - Amazon Reviewer| As I picked up the book and saw its artful cover, it already made me smile. The content - colourful images of animal-like creatures with human features, as if from another universe, all of them with their own distinctive characteristics, each one of them accompanied by Shakespeare-like, rhyming verses in plain English, in which these imaginative beings introduce and describe themselves - made me smile even more. The combination of portraits of these likeable creatures, along with the verses that have a gentle but self-critical sense of humour, made me happy and brought a good deal of sunshine into my day. It is a book that gets you in a good mood and in which you can find yourself - with that smile in your heart - and easily makes you forgive your own weaknesses. Gabriele Matter - Amazon Reviewer| Reading this book, I had the chance to witness a world transforming before my eyes. The wonderful colours, the playful voice the author uses, and his witty rhyme bring the fantabulous characters to life. I am happy that this book exists, this is the perfect proof that people still dream, create, laugh, are generous and have a great imagination. Ileana Cecanu - Amazon Reviewer| Reading Fantabulous Universe, I felt like I was reviving the sense of imagination that we have as children. Each poem brings to mind a unique, vibrant, and at times absurd world, which revolves around a rich collection of mystical beasts. You can feel that joy that went into writing these poems, and as a reader I enjoyed stepping into a world that was crafted with such care and ingenuity. It is truly a delight to read something so deeply creative, and it makes me think that perhaps each of us has a fantabulous universe waiting to be further developed in our own imaginations.
