Pierre's giant red hands quivered as he held aloft the parchment. He read the words again and again and even double checked his addition. There was no mistake. A bead of sweat fell from his forehead and splashed onto his baseball-glove sized hand.

Slugs: the familiar garden beastie known for their gelatinous trails, unsightly appearance and voracious love of salad. 19th century Russian slugs were a little different - around 6ft tall they were known to roam in pairs, using their incredible influence and good looks to lure unsuspecting victims into questionable slime related situations.

If we want to understand why pure, inescapable sadness has descended on what was once a happy, albeit somewhat violent and troubling book, we must go back in time.
