The Twits

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The much-loved Roald Dahl story, updated for a whole new generation of readers with an exciting new interior design and cover look.

The Twits tells the tale of Mr Twit, a foul and smelly man who always has bits of cornflake and sardine in his beard, and Mrs Twit, who is scheming and sly, always thinking of the next horrible trick to play on her husband.

"To pay Mrs Twit back for the worms in his spaghetti, Mr Twit thought up a really clever, nasty trick . . ."

The Twits are so ghastly and evil that they even keep Muggle-Wump the monkey and his family captive in their garden.

But not for much longer! The monkeys are planning to trick the terrible Twits so that they can escape and put a stop to the frightful pair once and for all!
