Synopsis
This book of verse for children contains verses that are serious, but most are fun, like the story of Horace, the boy who eats himself. There are a variety of characters, from Moby Duck, the terror of the river, to Laurie Oliphant, who nibbles dachshunds. Terry Jones' "Fairy Tales" was adapted for radio and television. "Nicobobinus" was awarded a Silver Seal by "Parents' Choice" and "The Saga of Erik the Viking", won the 1984 Children's Book Award. Michael Foreman has won many awards for his illustrative work, including the Francis William Award and the Kate Greenaway Award.
