Grimble at Christmas Summary

Grimble at Christmas by Sir Clement Freud

Ten-year-old Grimble is worried. His parents are not very organized and they seem to have completely forgotten Christmas. Grimble tries his hardest to make the old Grimbles remember - dropping lots of hints, humming Christmas carols round the house and pointing out turkeys and Christmas puddings in the shops. But, with only nine days to go, Grimble decides there is only one thing to do ...Arrange Christmas himself.

Grimble at Christmas Reviews

Grimble is one of funniest books I've ever read, and Grimble himself, who is a small boy, is a fabulous character. I'd love to see a Grimble film. As far as I know, these last two fine pieces of literature are out of print, so if any publishers ever read this, could you please dust them off and put them back in print so other people can read them? -- J. K. Rowling I read it when I was about eight. It was the first book that made me laugh out loud, a lot. For some strange reason it is now out of print - I think it's a sin that it's not readily available -- Mark Mills, Author Of The Savage Garden Delightful The Times 20081210 This beautiful small-format hardback with appropriately zany Quentin Blake illustrations could be popped into the stocking of anyone with a Dahlesque sense of humour Glasgow Herald 20081206 With Quentin Blake's wonderful drawings throughout, this is a splendid holiday title and it conveys, in a deliciously amusing way, an important message about Christmas and family ties Through The Looking Glass 20081201

About Sir Clement Freud

Sir Clement Freud was born in Berlin in 1924 to Jewish parents and his family fled Nazi Germany for Britain. His grandfather was the famous psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud. He has been a chef, a newspaper columnist, a journalist and radio panelist. He was also a Liberal MP from 1973 to 1987. Sir Clement wrote the Grimble stories because his children bullied him into it and they came to life on BBC's Jackanory, where they were very successful. He is married with five children. Quentin Blake has been drawing ever since he can remember and he is one of the world's best loved and most successful children's illustrators and authors. After studying English at Cambridge University and life-classes at Chelsea Art School, he became a teacher and for many years taught at the Royal College of Art where he was head of the Illustration Department. Quentin was made an OBE in 1988 and, in the words of the Guardian, was already a national institution when he was appointed the first Children's Laureate
