Book description
'There are many boys in the world, all slightly different from one
another, and most of them are referred to by names. These are often John
or Jack or Desmond, but sometimes they are James or Philip or Simon.
Once, and once only, there was a boy whose name was Fizzlebert.'
Fizzlebert Stump lives in a travelling circus. But although he gets to
hang around with acrobats, play the fool with clowns, and put his head
in a lion's mouth every night, he's the only kid there - and he's bored.
But then Fizz decides to join a library, and life suddenly gets a lot
more exciting, when a simple library card application leads to him being
kidnapped by a pair of crazed pensioners! Will he ever see the circus
again? A. F. Harrold is an English poet (1975-present). He writes and
