Andy Stanton

Synopsis

Shabba me whiskers! MR GUM is 20 years old (and some). And he’s NOT happy about it.  
But everyone else is – and this very special anniversary recording of the bestselling children’s audiobook is bursting out the nostrils with fun and original extras from the Mr Gum world. Including an introduction from fellow bestselling author, Phil Earle! 
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, THE TRUTH IS A LEMON MERINGUE.
