Hubert Horatio Bartle Bobton-Trent is back in this hilarious & gloriously illustrated book for ages six & up from the superstar creator of Clarice Bean & Charlie & Lola, Lauren Child.” These stories are about the days when the Bobton-Trents had it cushy, very cushy indeed.” The Bobton-Trent seniors certainly know how to make the most of their extravagant wealth
- socialising, doing things, buying things & generally being more than a little bit.. . irresponsible... Luckily for them, their son Hubert Horatio is an exceptionally intelligent, talented & sensible child. Unluckily for Hubert, this tends to mean that a lot of his spare time is spent steering his rather unruly set of grown-ups out of trouble. Legendary children`s writer & Waterstones Children`s Laureate 2017-2019 Lauren Child revisits one of her most popular characters in these br&-new, laugh-out-loud stories about the rather unconventional Bobton-Trents! The perfect gift for children aged six & up.
