The Complete Uncle by J.P. Martin

5.0

As a small boy I think I had one or other of the Uncle books out on loan from my local library more or less constantly. The stories have a slightly improvised feel to them, as befits tales originally told at bedtime. I always loved the wonderful flights of fancy, and the endless schemes of the Badfort crowd. What Marcus Gipps discovered as he set about getting these books reprinted was that Uncle has a sizable following, all eager to rediscover those childhood wonders. The resulting omnibus edition is a pure delight, beautifully produced and finished to a very high standard. Preserved for the next generations of Uncle fans, these timeless tales are pure joy, from start to finish.
