Diablo: The Fantastical Adventures of an Unloved Chess Piece
Diablo is a piece of poetic and fantastical fiction book in words and pictures written from the vivid imagination of Chris Tait, a proud Shetlander. Chris was diagnosed with Asperger's at the age of thirty and in no way has this inhibited the artistic poetry in a short story which takes the reader through the wacky fantasy landscape of the hapless Diablo, an unloved chess piece. This book will appeal to adults and children alike.
