The Rollickers and other stories

The pleasures of these stories are partly the pleasures of imagination and storytelling - lots of playing with words, people and ideas. The seven stories (interestingly illustrated by different people) have all kinds of strange things happening: Oswald Loon challenged in awful rhyme by a mysterious aggressor; Little Mudd (yes his name is...) persecuted by the Dreepies; the Jigbat's intellectual understanding of life beyond itself and its brave struggle to find the rest of the world; and the title story with its fine eccentric humour exposing the dullness of small town living... These are stories to read aloud and tell. Make time for Year 6/7 pupils to hear them.
