The Chief Father Christmas ('CFC') has been ill, but being stuck in bed drinking hot milk and taking Dr Repairall's Nourishing Tonic, (2 spoonfuls 3 times a day and NO SPITTING) is making him fed up. Grumbo and Tingle decide he needs an adventure and they enlist Percy and Jack to help. With Rudolph's assistance, they mean to whisk him away from Nanny Christmas's eagle eye via the old fire escape under Christmas Mountain, but after that it doesn't go quite according to plan! Here you can meet the sinister Augustus Sourswiggle, Fifi the spare giraffe and Keith the expectant kiwi and travel to the other side of the earth and back -or as far as your imagination will take you! Perfect for ages 8-9.This is the second book in the Adventures of Percy and Grumbo series and was previously published under the title 'Rescuing the CFC'. The first book in the series is called 'The Wrong Night'.
