Reissued in the exciting new Roald Dahl branding.

A collection of (mainly) grisly beasts out for human blood, ranging from Gocky-Wock the crocodile to Sting-A-Ling the scorpion. Described in verse with all Dahl's usual gusto and illustrated in suitably lurid style by Quentin Blake.

'A true genius . . . Roald Dahl is my hero' - David Walliams
Exciting, bold and instantly recognisable with Quentin Blake's inimitable artwork.
