Overview:
David Walliams Collection 4 Books Set brings together four wildly imaginative adventures that have delighted young readers and families across the UK. The Beast of Buckingham Palace imagines a future London in ruins, where Prince Alfred has never known life beyond Buckingham Palace; when strange goings-on emerge at night, a bold quest unfolds with Walliams’ trademark wit and warmth. The Ice Monster pairs a ten-year-old orphan with a 10,000-year-old mammoth in an Arctic mystery, weaving a tale that straddles Victorian London’s streets and a frozen frontier with heart and humor. Slime transports readers to a tiny island where a surprising number of horrible grown-ups inhabit the ordinary—school, park, toy shop, and even the island’s ice-cream—in a playful, mischievous adventure. Code Name Bananas invites a brave boy into a time-spanning epic of action, laughter, and secret plots, anchored by an extraordinary friendship with a gigantic gorilla that just might save the day. A complete reading journey in one value-packed set, perfect for fans of Walliams’ energetic storytelling and memorable characters.
