Grubtown Tales
An extremely exciting and exceptionally silly brand new series from Philip Ardagh, creator of Eddie Dickens.
You won't find Grubtown on any maps. The last time any map-makers were sent anywhere near the place they were found a week later wearing nothing but pages from a telephone directory, and calling for their mothers. It's certainly a town and certainly grubby - except for the squeaky clean parts - but everything else we know about the place comes from Beardy Ardagh, town resident and author of these tales.
The first Grubtown Tale, Stinking Rich and Just Plain Stinky won the Roald Dahl Funny Book Prize 2009.
