'Funny, anarchic, original and gloriously silly.' Richard Osman
'Ted and Nancy are my favourite funny foxes EVER.' Liz Pichon,
author of Tom Gates 'I CACKLED ALOUD on practically every page.
Comic gold, tinged with such tenderness.' Kiran Millwood Hargrave
'Grimwood is like Winnie-the-Pooh written by the Pythons, and so
madly inventive and funny I was howling with laughter by the third
page. This is about to become a fundamental part of 21st century
childhood' Caitlin Moran Laugh your head off with this
fully-illustrated new series from award-winning Nadia Shireen.
Perfect for readers age 7 to 107, fans of Dog Man, Roald Dahl, Mr
Gum, Loki and David Walliams, and anyone who loves to laugh. Fox
cub siblings Ted and Nancy are on the run from Princess Buttons,
the scariest street cat in the Big City. They flee for Grimwood,
expecting to find refuge in the peaceful countryside. Instead, they
are met with thieving eagles, dramatic ducks, riotous rabbits and a
whole host of unusual characters. Grimwood is . . . weird. But when
Princess Buttons tracks them down, Nancy and Ted and the animals of
Grimwood must unite in a mind-bending race against time . . . This
memorable, distinctive and warm-hearted comedy series will have
kids begging to read more. *Pre-order Grimwood: Let the Fur Fly!
the must-read second Grimwood adventure - out this September!*
