Tor released the trilogy as three separate paperback volumes in the US in late 2005. In June 2002 the trilogy was printed in the UK by Pan Macmillan as a trade paperback with an introduction by China MiƩville in April 2003, the UK branch of Tor Books reissued the trilogy in a smaller paperback volume. The books went out of print but have been republished as a single volume. The scheduled release of the third book coincided with the English riots of 1985, and because of the book's strong anti-authoritarian theme, the publishers decided not to publish. The Borribles' antagonists, the Rumbles, who play a significant part in the first book, are satires of perennial children's favorites, The Wombles. The three volumes in the trilogy are The Borribles, The Borribles Go For Broke, and The Borribles: Across the Dark Metropolis. ![]() The Borrible Trilogy is a series of young adult books written by English writer Michael de Larrabeiti. ![]()
