Grubtown Tales: Stinking Rich and Just Plain Stinky (6 Copies) Award-winning author Pack by Philip Ardagh (author)

Grubtown isn’t on any maps. It’s a grubby, stinky secret. The last time map-makers went anywhere near the place, they were found a week later crying out for their mothers, and wearing nothing but pages from a telephone directory. Grubtown is home to all kinds of freaks and oddballs, from the singing Grumbly girls to the super-sized mayor who’s knitting a new house. But Manual Org is so stinky and repulsive that even the Grubtowners want him gone – until the discovery of a great big diamond changes everything!

Philip Ardagh

Philip Ardagh is the bestselling author of the Eddie Dickens adventures. In 2009 he has two new series: the very funny fictional Grubtown Tales, and fact-packed Henry’s House.

He wrote BBC radio’s first truly interactive radio drama, collaborated with Sir Paul McCartney on his first children’s book and is a ‘regularly irregular’ reviewer of children’s books for the Guardian. Married with a son, he divides his time between Tunbridge Wells and Grubtown, where he cultivates his impressive beard!
