Mr Gum and the Dancing Bear Good evening. Do you like bears called Padlock? Course you do. Do you like hot-air balloons? Course you do. Do you like tall sailing ships with mad sea captains, and horrifying old villains and words like `wab!’, `tungler’ and `kelp’? COURSE you do! Well, guess what, you lucky little nibbleheads?
Perfect for fans of Roald Dahl and David Walliams.
