Kitty's Reader Notes & Book Snippet

Raymond Briggs' irreverent classic, first published in 1977, Fungus the Bogeyman is full of grime, snot and unmentionables! Written in the 1970's it is a world away from political correctness, wife Mildew boils the rotten eggs and whilst Fungus reads the 'Daily Midden' headlines about the Slime shortage in Bogey world.

In the Bogey family's day to day they go about terrorising human's ladies, children and Vicars with truly no holds barred along with lots of other equally offensive behaviour. So put your morals to one side and get ready for a riotous ride through grot.

Kid's love this hilarious book and adults too. A wacky underrated classic by the much loved author and illustrator of the (much more suitable and pearly white in comparison) classic vintage children's book 'The Snowman'.
