In this, the third and final of "The Further Adventures of Eddie Dickens", our saucer-eyed hero Eddie Dickens finds himself embroiled in an attempt to foil a plot to steal an oil painting of Mad Uncle Jack, mistakenly commissioned by the War Office (who thought he was the other Major Dickens). Add to this the explosive mix of Even Madder Aunt Maud and Annabelle, the baby pet crocodile she now leads around on a silver chain; Dr Samuel Moot, besotted by Maud since a young man, having once shot Mad Uncle Jack (twice) in a duel; Gherkin a professional dwarf; Eddie's Uncle Alfie and surfeit of heather; and all the usual suspects (including Malcolm, of course)...and you're in for another slice of the ridiculous served up in the way that only Ardagh can.

Review
"'The author is a national treasure: witty, anarchic, endlessly inventive, and entirely his own man.' Indepenent"
About the Author
Philip Ardagh is a huge hit on both sides of the Atlantic and has been translated into too many languages to mention. Alongside the Eddie Dickens and Unlikely Exploits series, he is also the author of numerous non-fiction books for children and The Not-So-Very-Nice-Goings-On at Victoria Lodge - his first venture into humour for grown-ups.

This review is from: Final Curtain 3 (Further Advent/Eddie Dickens) (Paperback)
Nothing better to recommend a book, than when a "non-reader" devours it! My students love anything by this author, and this was no exception,
