The Flubb is a strange being who's driven by a restless wanderlust and a ceaseless hunger for storing words in his ample belly.
Evolving from a transparent figure that materializes from nothingness, the Flubb somehow manages to rise to the dizzying heights of assistant lexicographer, his naive good nature carrying him through as he learns the wicked ways of the world.
Along the way, he passes through a ridiculous variety of jobs-including porridge chef, zookeeper, and a brief stint as the archbishop of Canterbury-for many of which he is particularly unsuited. He embarks on a worldwide cruise, and an infatuation with the woman whose face appears on the ten-pence coin leads to hilarity at Buckingham Palace.
These experiences, along with his introduction to the ways in which correct diction can make all the difference, make for an unforgettable novel that will leave readers giggling long after the last page.
The first book in the Adventures of the Flubb trilogy,
The Evolution of the Flubb
is a rollicking journey full of adventure, fun, and delightfully wonderful wordplay.
