Summary

‘Funny, anarchic, original and gloriously silly.’ – Richard Osman

‘Ted and Nancy are my favourite funny foxes EVER.’ – Liz Pichon, author of Tom Gates

‘I CACKLED ALOUD on practically every page. Comic gold, tinged with such tenderness.’ – Kiran Millwood Hargrave

‘Grimwood is like
Winnie-the-Pooh written by the Pythons, and so madly inventive and funny I was howling with laughter by the third page. This is about to become a fundamental part of 21st century childhood’ – Caitlin Moran

Laugh your head off with this new series from award-winning Nadia Shireen. Perfect for listeners age 7 to 107, fans of Dog Man, Roald Dahl, Mr Gum and David Walliams, and anyone who loves to laugh.

Fox cub siblings Ted and Nancy are on the run from Princess Buttons, the scariest street cat in the Big City. They flee for Grimwood, expecting to find refuge in the peaceful countryside. Instead, they are met with thieving eagles, dramatic ducks, riotous rabbits and a whole host of unusual characters. Grimwood is . . . weird. But when Princess Buttons tracks them down, Nancy and Ted and the animals of Grimwood must unite in a mind-bending race against time . . .

This memorable, distinctive and warm-hearted comedy series will have kids begging to read more.

Wish I could give it more stars!

I already love the Grimwood books, but Adam Buxton is a genius at narrating this story and brings that extra bit of comedy with the voices and sound effects. I cannot recommend this highly enough!

Excellent family fun. 'Kay thanks bye!

Grimwood is amazing. It's brilliantly funny and Adam Buxton's reading is sublime, with great characterisation, making it easy for all the family to follow and enjoy. It's so good that not only did it stop my kids from fighting over a long car journey (which is a miracle) but they also enjoyed it so much that as soon as it finished they demanded we start it over again immediately! They're even discussing Grimwood World Book Day costumes even though it's six months away. It's not just for kids though, I loved it too and nearly crashed at one point from laughing so much in the Binky chapter. What a gem.

Loved it!

My 8yr old daughter and I listened to this and thoroughly enjoyed it. Adam Buxton gives life to the wonderful characters with his performance. We hope there are many more books to enjoy.
