A phenomenal success since its publication in 1989, The Story of the Little Mole has delighted adults and children alike to become an all-time humour classic.
CELEBRATING 35 YEARS AND OVER 3 MILLION SALES OF A PICTURE BOOK PHENOMENON!
This joyful, mischievous and characterful picture book tells the tale of a little mole who wakes up one morning only to have one of the other animals 'do its business' on his head. The lovably outraged Little Mole then sets out to track down the culprit to exact his revenge in his own little way.
This new anniversary edition celebrates 35 years since the original publication. It includes a stunning hardback and luxurious slipcase, both stunningly foiled. It is a fantastic gift for fans, or those yet to be introduced to the book.
As well as the story and all the original artwork, this edition features some bonus content about the author and illustrator, to further celebrate the brilliant creators of this modern classic.
