🐶 “The Bible Hounds Songbook” presents three previously unreleased drafts for songs from the animated series “Bible Hounds”. Bible Hounds is a fictitious cartoon series that could have run in USA in the late 1980s as a Sunday morning entertainment for Christian communities. In the post-Soviet Baltics, however, “Bible Hounds” could have found a much wider audience than in its homeland, as there, anything “Western” was accepted with an unquestioned enthusiasm. The show’s first and only season featured numerous musical interludes, which were often too bold and provocative for a conservative children’s series. In the Songbook, the absurd and jolly world of Bible Hounds is introduced by sheet music, illustrations and unreleased episode summaries.
🎼 “The Bible Hounds Songbook” is the second book published in collaboration between Knock! Knock! Books and Lugemik. Based in Tallinn and Helsinki, Knock! Knock! Books is an independent publishing initiative that produces fictional books. In the past two years, Knock! Knock! Books has taken part in book fairs in New York, Berlin and Helsinki, and collaborated with publishing houses in Estonia and elsewhere.
