About this listen

Shabba me whiskers! MR GUM is 20 years old (and some). And he’s NOT happy about it.

But everyone else is – and this very special anniversary recording of the bestselling children’s audiobook is bursting out the nostrils with fun and original extras from the Mr Gum world. Including an introduction from fellow bestselling author, Phil Earle!

It's one of those Mr Gum books by Andy Stanton! They're only the craziest, funnest most amazing books for children in the world.

Step once more into Lamonic Bibber my friends – if you dare.

In the dead of night, when all the stars are sleeping and the moon's nipped off for a coffee, something dark and sinister stalks the streets of Lamonic Bibber. As a fog rolls in from the sea, carrying with it the unmistakeable whiff of pancakes and utter dread, an unearthly howl echoes through the cold midnight air. But who – or what – is at work here?

Shabba me suspense-filled whiskers, this one will require some serious detective work!

Andy Stanton's internationally best-selling series has won everything from the Blue Peter Book Award (twice) the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the Red House Children's Book Award.
