Who wrote The Guinea Pig Trilogy?
The guinea pig mother Merridy thinks she wrote it, and put her name on the front.
Hazel thinks he wrote it, and is sulking fit to cause a thunderstorm.
We think the guinea pig mother may be channelling a wilful Pig God, who is making her a lot of work.
Is Pig Tails really the first guinea pig novel ever-ever-EVER?
Hazel thinks so, and that's what counts. We suggest any other answers be kept discreetly to yourselves.
It’s rumoured there will be four books in the Trilogy. Why?
a) Hazel and/or the guinea pig mother can't do arithmetic.
b) Hazel is a difficult muse and doesn't care for convention, or arithmetic.
Whose fault is it?
Overall, it's Hazel's fault. And it's the guinea pig mother's fault for letting a big guinea pig boss her about.
And it's Corrianne's fault. You can read about that here.
What about Guinea Pig Empire Books for Kids?
Yes, those are Hazel’s fault too. He’s quite pleased the guinea pig mother is producing decent illustrations at last.
Not to mention promoting the cause of His Personal Empire to all the children in the world.
Was Officer Bluebell really in the police force?
Yes, he was. He was much loved by the humans in the nipaluna/Hobart intelligence unit.
He came to our family with his very own police badge and terribly messy hair which needed cleaning up.
Is it true that Prince Apollo crossed Australia from top to bottom?
Yes, in fact he crossed Australia four times. That’s about 40,000 kilometres.
He did it once from bottom to top in a plane.
The second time from top to bottom in the dirtmobile.
Then back up again in the dirtmobile.
And finally, he crossed the desert to Uluru and back to the island of his birth in ways you will hear about when his story is written.
Who is the oldest guinea pig?
Truffle Yogurt Creampuff Nutella Pugh turned 11 years old a little while ago,.
Although he lives in another paradise now, he’s still our 11-year-old miracle piggy with the sprightly legs and wise heart.
