Shabba me whiskers It's that bestselling and award-winning first ever Mr Gum story, read by the author and with music and sound effects

'They're the funniest books ... I can't recommend them enough' Stephen Mangan

Good evening. Mr Gum is a complete horror who hates children, animals, fun and corn on the cob. This book's all about him.

And an angry fairy who lives in his bathtub. And Jake the dog, and a little girl called Polly and an evil, stinky butcher all covered in guts. And there's heroes and sweets and adventures and EVERYTHING.

You're a Bad Man, Mr Gum is the first in the internationally bestselling series by Andy Stanton, which has won everything from the Blue Peter Book Award (twice) to the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the Red House Children's Book Award.

Andy Stanton lives in North London. He studied English at Oxford but they kicked him out. He has been a film script reader, a cartoonist, an NHS lackey and lots of other things. He has many interests, but best of all he likes cartoons, books and music (even jazz). One day he'd like to live in New York or Berlin or one of those places because he's got fantasies of bohemia. His favourite expression is 'Good evening' and his favourite word is 'captain'.
