The David Tazzyman-illustrated "Mr Gum" books are reissued here, as anticipation builds towards a theatre show and a new series. The humorous and somehow lovable adventures of a villainous man who hates children, animals and fun.

Andy Stanton lives in North London. He studied English at Oxford but they kicked him out. He has been a film script reader, a cartoonist, an NHS lackey and lots of other things. He has many interests, but best of all he likes cartoons, books and music (even jazz). His favourite expression is `good evening¿ and his favourite word is `captain¿. Yoüre a Bad Man, Mr Gum! was his first book and is the first in the bestselling Mr Gum series.
