Mr Gum - Mr Gum and the Goblins (Mr Gum): Unabridged edition

By Andy Stanton, Illustrated by David Tazzyman, Read by To Be Confirmed

Shabba me whiskers! MR GUM is 20 years old (and some). And he’s NOT happy about it.

But everyone else is – and this very special anniversary recording of the bestselling children’s audiobook is bursting out the nostrils with fun and original extras from the Mr Gum world. Including an introduction from fellow bestselling author, Phil Earle!

It’s only one of those Mr Gum books by Andy Stanton! They’re only the craziest, funnest most amazing books for children in the world. This is the third book!

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. And why? Because they’re raising up an army of goblins to stink up the town of Lamonic Bibber once and for all!

Can the brave travellers (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!
