"When both of Eddie Dickens' parents catch a disease that makes them turn yellow, go a bit crinkly round the edges and smell of hot water bottles, it's agreed he should go and stay with relatives at their house Awful End. Unfortunately for Eddie, those relatives are Mad Uncle Jack and Even-Madder Aunt Maud, and it doesn't look as if the three of them are ever going to reach their destination...
Set in a 19th-century world of blotchy skin, runaway orphans, and a stuffed stoat called Malcolm, this wonderfully ridiculous adventure story was Philip Ardagh's first full-length work of fiction."

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
Teil 1 der Eddie-Dickens-Trilogie - für Freunde des britischen Humors... ;-)Ich wünsche Dir einen wunderschönen 12. Advent und noch viel Spaß mit dem BC-Adventskalender!
Thank you very much for this advent calender book! That's a book in English I prefer: short and on an easy level ;-)Thank you also for the nice book signs!
First volume of a trilogy, but it doesn't have an open end, so you can read it as a completed novel aswell.
It's a children's book, but I also enjoyed it as an adult. It's short and easy to read (even if you miss some words) therefore it's a perfect book for non-native english speakers who want to read something easy and entertaining.
The story is really crazy, silly, absurd - I liked it. I read somewhere: Monty Python meets Charles Dickens - that describes it perfectly.

This book is part of my nss present. 📚📗
I hope you'll like my present and enjoy the convention in Mainz 💕
A very good choice for the NSS, just like the other things in your the box. You made me very happy ;-)
i just started reading and i like it very much :-) The book makes me think of the oxford convention 4 years ago, where i bought one of the 'fizzlebert stump' books, written by A.F. Harold, who we met at that convention!
i finished the book and liked it very much! I think i know who i'm going to pass it on to. Let's see if they already have it.........
I hand over this book to fifna as a gift for her sons.
Received from oehoeboeroe at the New Year's meetup in Amsterdam, thank you very much! I think my kids will like it.
