The beginning of a weird, wacky, one in a million series about the plight of the truly nasty Mr Gum and a wacky cast of characters—a cross between Roald Dahl and Monty PythonMr Gum is a truly nasty old man. He's a complete horror who hates children, animals, fun, and corn on the cob. This book's all about him. And an angry fairy who lives in his bathtub. And Jake the dog, and a little girl named Polly, and an evil, stinky butcher all covered in guts. And there are heroes and sweets and adventures and everything.
