The Tale of Georgie Grub



A gloriously funny cautionary tale from the multi-award winning Jeanne Willis.

This is the tale of Georgie Grub
Who would not give himself a scrub.
No matter how his mother tried
When she said "SOAP", he'd run and hide.

But Georgie meets a gruesome end in this hilariously anarchic tale.
