“This is weird, wacky and one in a million: a cross between Roald Dahl and Monty Python. Mr Gum is a truly nasty old man. He's absolutely grimsters. But these books aren’t just about him. There's also a little girl called Polly, an evil butcher, heroes and sweets and stuff, and Jake the dog WHO MUST BE SAVED FROM TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE EVIL.”
