A huge favourite of the thousands of 70s and 80s kids who are now book buying parents, Russell Hoban's classic tale which was originally published in 1974 is brilliantly brought to life by the inimitable Quentin Blake. A timeless tale of the triumph of fooling-around fun over humourless no-nonsense adult disapproval. Laugh-out-loud funny, no matter how many times you read it. Jacketed edition. Ages: 5+
