Funnybones

A new edition of this beloved and bestselling Hallowe’en classic, including an audio CD read by Stephen Mangan

This is how the story begins.
On a dark dark hill
there was a dark dark town.
In the dark dark town
there was a dark dark street . . .

Janet and Allan’s frightfully funny Hallowe’en classic tells the story of three skeletons – a big skeleton, a little skeleton and a dog skeleton – who venture out of their cellar one night to find someone to scare, only to find that everyone is in bed. Who will they scare now?!

This is a new edition with an accompanying CD, featuring the story read by acclaimed comic actor Stephen Mangan.
