Critic Reviews
"'Smooky palooki! This book is well brilliant! Andy Stanton is far too clever and funny and should be locked away in a very dark place that nobody can find.' (Jeremy Strong) 'Worryingly splendid' (Guardian) 'Great! The children thought Andy Stanton was hilarious and this was a real worthwhile learning experience. I am so glad we watched it. They [the children] are even more interested in the Mr Gum books now!' (An audience member at Authors Live event, Glasgow 2011)"
About the Author
Andy Stanton Andy Stanton lives in North London. He studied English at Oxford but they kicked him out. He has been a stand-up comedian, a film script reader, a cartoonist, an NHS lackey and lots of other things. He has many interests, but best of all he likes Radio 4, books and music (even jazz).
