 DescriptionHere is the second book in the hilarious and outrageous Aunt Effie series. In this story Aunt Effie, dressed in her green canvas invalid's pyjamas, hibernates all winter leaving her 26 resourceful nieces and nephews to deal with snowstorm and flood, ravening monsters, a barnful of hungry animals and a wild ark-ride over the Vast Untrodden Ureweras. Among the comic cast of cousins are Daisy, whose primness puckers the mouth, Alwyn, who echoes and 'backwardises' the most emphatic statements, and Jack, a junior version of Jack-the-deer-culler Lasenby. There's a horse who acts as a dubiously qualified doctor, a gander who causes the ark to roll, and cows with insomnia - snoring in tune. With his trademark embellishments and wonderful blend of humour, excitement and wacky fun, Jack Lasenby has written another story of mayhem and delight. Author descriptionJack Lasenby is one of our foremost writers for children. He's the author of over 20 titles. He lives in Wellington. |
