From the Back Cover
“It would have been a lot better if I’d broken a leg playing football. It would have been better still if I’d been ill and had to go off to hospital. But I didn’t break a leg, and I didn’t go to hospital. I got a lousy wart instead.”
Dilly’s life was great till he got a wart on his knee.
Now everyone stares and calls him “wartman”.
How can Dilly get rid of the wart and get his life back on track?
