Description	The Borrible Trilogy is a series of young adult books written by English writer Michael de Larrabeiti. The three volumes in the trilogy are The Borribles, The Borribles Go For Broke, and The Borribles: Across the Dark Metropolis. Each book contains a separate story but they form an overall larger story.The Borrible Trilogy was unusual in the way it tackled the Class war in the medium of children's literature. Elements of grunge, pain, and violence feature strongly. The protagonists speak cockney. The Borribles' antagonists, the Rumbles, who play a significant part in the first book, are satires of perennial children's favourites The Wombles.The critically acclaimed books have been vilified over the language and violence depicted . The scheduled release of the third book coincided with the English riots of 1985, and because of the strong anti-authoritarian theme, the publishers took the decision not to publish it.Telegraph article The books went out of print but have been republished as a single volume. (June 2002) the trilogy UK by Pan Macmillan as a trade paperback with an introduction by China Miéville; in April 2003, the UK branch of Tor Books reissued the trilogy in a smaller paperback volume. Tor released the trilogy as three separate paperback volumes in the USA in late 2005.
