A classic children’s story from one of our best-loved authors, former Children’s Laureate Anne Fine.

Lancelot’s lovely teacher, Miss Mirabelle, is in big trouble. She’s told a giant whopper and unless she can come up with a brilliant plan, she’s going to look very, very silly. Can Lancelot help this damsel in distress? Little does he know that Ivan will leave a lasting influence, and that he himself will never enjoy listening to nursery rhymes ever again …

Anne Fine’s fun school stories have been delighting children for more than 20 years, winning her awards such as the Smarties Book Award and Carnegie Medal along the way.
