Book Description

August 6, 2007
Shabba me whiskers This is barking bonkers...Well, that old roo-de-lally Mr Gum and the hideous Billy William the Third are once more mucking things up for everyone. They're a-schemin' and a-hatchin' an' making their bad plans up on Goblin Mountain. Can the wise old man Friday O'Leary and the small girl Polly make it past the Three Impossible Challenges of Goblin Mountain and save the town from a fate worse than something very bad indeed? In an epic tale of courage, valour and plain idiocy only one thing is sure: The truth is a lemon meringue!

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The Bookseller said: 'A wickedly entertaining story for young readers... very funny and made me giggle out loud'; The Sunday Times said: 'Andy Stanton accumulates silliness and jokes in an irresistible, laughter-inducing romp'; Philip Ardagh for the Guardian said: 'Worryingly splendid'; Danny Baker from LBC Radio said: 'This is a riot, it is hilarious, it is brilliant... best book I've read in a long time.'"

About the Author

Andy Stanton lives in North London. He studied English at Oxford but they kicked him out. He has been a stand-up comedian, a film script reader, a cartoonist, an NHS lackey and lots of other things. He has many interests, but best of all he likes Radio 4, 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 expression is 'Please, sir' and his favourite word is 'proletariat'. This is his third book. David Tazzyman lives in South London with his girlfriend, Melanie, and their son, Stanley. He grew up in Leicester, studied illustration at Manchester Metropolitan University and then travelled around Asia for three years before moving to London in 1997. He likes football, cricket, biscuits, music and drawing. He dislikes celery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mr Gum..FUNNY!, February 9, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mr. Gum and the Goblins (Paperback)
My 9 year old son loves these books. We bought every one. He enjoys the humor and the pictures make him feel as if the book isn't overwhelming.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mr. Gum and Goblins (fantastic), September 7, 2009
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Mr. Gum and the Goblins (Paperback)
Read this book in 2 days it's that good and i'm only 8. It's a funny English commedy about a girl named Polly and her friend 'Friday O'Leary'. This is book number 3 and mum is about to order the next 2. I'm hooked!

These are the best books I've ever read - even better than 'Diary of a wimpy Kid.'
