Bumper collection of three books in a top-selling series about an awesomely naughty child, containing 'Horrid Henry's Stinkbomb', 'Underpants' and 'Meets the Queen'.
Francesca Simon grew up in California and attended both Yale and Oxford Universities, where she specialised in Medieval Studies. How this prepared her to write children’s books she cannot imagine, but it did give her a thorough grounding in alliteration.
She then threw away a lucrative career as a medievalist and worked as a freelance journalist, writing for the Sunday Times, Guardian, Mail on Sunday, Telegraph, and Vogue (US). After her son Joshua was born in 1989, she started writing children’s books full time. One of the UK’s best-selling children’s writers, Francesca has published over 50 books, including the immensely popular HORRID HENRY series, which has now sold over twelve million copies.
Francesca won the Children’s Book of the Year in 2008 at the British Book Awards for Horrid Henry and the Abominable Snowman. HORRID HENRY is published in 24 countries and is also an animated CITV series. She lives in London with her husband, son, and Tibetan Spaniel, Shanti.
This book has 3 books in 1. However,most good book was Horrid Henry’s underpants.That book was about one day,Henry’s grandma presented underpants to Henry. But that was girl’s underpants. What can he do?
Well Henry mentions the Ancient Greeks ‘Ate their children for tea’ with a nice picture, looking at you Tantalus 😂 So the Head teacher is Mrs Oddbod, and Miss Battle-Axe’s first name is ‘Boudicca’, very apt 😉 Gobble and Go sounds like my birthday trips to Pizza Hut lol, and I love the story of Great Aunt Greta giving Henry frilly pink knickers, very funny 😂 And some more ethic representation with pictures of Brainy Brian!
