This is a quirky little book with vaguely Pagan references scattered through its 82 pages. It concerns an extremely young child (Harry) and his mother (Mummy). Mummy is, apparently, a superspy while Harry is…oblivious. He is apparently fixated on his own pleasures (and bodily functions), and occasionally manages to interfere with Mummy’s plans.
Is it something I would go looking for? Probably not, which is why I am glad I heard about this fun little read. I would have missed a light-hearted romp through the world of an extremely unusual youngster.
Each of these short stories is told in a quick-paced style with few pretensions. They are intended to provide a quick smile with an even quicker chuckle. In other words, they are simply fun to read. Don’t look for more. Purchase this book to give yourself an excuse to relax and laugh. It is well worth the price.
