Stanley Bagshaw and the Fourteen-Foot Wheel
'In Huddersgate (famed for its tramlines) up north where it's boring and slow. Stanley Bagshaw resides with his Grandma at number 4 Prince Albert Row.' So begins this very funny tale of what happens when Stanley inadvertently manufactures a fourteen-foot bicycle wheel which gets loose in dull old Huddersgate. Written in the verse form of The Lion and Albert and told in a marvellously varied and inventive series of pictures, comic strip and bubbles. A real treat for juniors.
