Synopsis

From a smelly tramp with a big heart to a granny on the run from the law, you'll meet larger-than-life characters both young and old in these funny and touching tales from a leading comedy star. Full of warmth and wisdom, David Walliams' acclaimed novels explore the quirkier side of human nature to very funny effect. As comical as Roald Dahl, but always genuinely heartwarming, these stories show that when we judge people by appearances, we often miss the truth about what is inside. Light-hearted, surprising and full of optimism, they are a pure joy to read and share. This pack contains 5 paperbacks: Gangsta Granny; Billionaire Boy; Boy In The Dress; Mr Stink; Rat Burger.
