How Tom Beat Captain Najork and His Hired Sportsmen,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The hilarious, classic tale about the triumph of foolingaround over humorless, nononsense, adult disapproval! Written and illustrated by two masters of childrens literature.Tom loves to fool around. He fools around with dropping things from bridges into rivers and he fools around with barrels in alleys. He fools around so much that his maiden aunt, Miss Fidget WonkhamStrong (who wears an iron hat and takes no nonsense from anyone), sends for Captain Najork and his hired sportsmen to teach Tom a lesson.Captain Najork, says Aunt Fidget WonkhamStrong, is seven feet tall, with eyes like fire and a voice like thunder. He teaches foolingaround boys the lesson they so badly need, and it is not one that they soon forget. Captain Najork lays down a challenge: they will play womble, muck and speedball in that order. And it turns out not to be Tom who gets taught a lesson after all!A very funny collaboration for children by Russell Hoban and Quentin Blake for kids who love to laugh (and the story contiunes in A Near Thing for Captain Najork).
