Here live the Gibblins, and oppressed people held firmly in check by a ruthless dictator, Lord Mulciber the Deathless.This series, with its stunning and intricate artwork, follows the adventures of the young Gibblin hero -- Muffin Pigdoom.Lord Mulciber's rule is enforced by his militia, the terrifying Urgs. They roam across the Three Counties, bullying and thieving. One day when they steal his father's savings, Muffin Pigdoom snaps. Though small and frightened, he is determined to give chase. He'll need all his courage and ingenuity if he is to return home safely!
Exciting book for kids - I bought as it has good illustrations for me to show on screen when reading online to my grandkids! I've taken pics with my camera to prepare a PowerPoint to show them whilst I read the book (I've struggled showing pages of books to them via the web camera as I read) Have bought the other 2 books in the series but not read them yet.
My favorite series to read to my boys. By chance we were given these books and have fallen in love with them. If you like DnD or the Lord of the Rings you will most likely enjoy reading these books to your little ones too!
Another terrific and mesmerising book from master storyteller and illustrator, Paul Warren. Why these books aren't reprinted and in every bookshop across the land is a mystery to me. Easily the best stories for children aged 5-8yrs+, great for reading aloud and for competent readers to tackle. Imaginative, inventive humourous fantasy adventures that children will love reading again and again. A modern day classic!
