Product description

Horrible old Mr Gum is back with a hilarious tale for little nibbleheads! It’s a story for anyone who likes to read about hot-air balloons, mad sea captains, disgusting old villains and words like ‘wab!’, ‘tungler’ and ‘kelp’. Fifth in a bestselling series, this book’s got all of those things – and a lot more besides. Shamelessly zany and brimming with chuckles, it’ll fly off the bookshelf in a flash!

Winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize 2008.

“Quirky, odd and deliciously funny” – Sophie Dahl

Andy Stanton is author of the fantastically funny Mr Gum books.

Andy lives in North London. He studied English at Oxford but they kicked him out. He has been a film script reader, a cartoonist, an NHS lackey and lots of other things. He has many interests, but best of all he likes cartoons, books and music (even jazz). One day he’d like to live in New York or Berlin or one of those places because he’s got fantasies of bohemia. His favourite expressions are ‘Good evening’ and ‘What on earth is THAT?!’ and his favourite word is ‘werewolf’.
