A quirky must-read from the creator of The Snowman. And that is all I will say. ( ) Utterly sublime. Accurately described on Backlisted as "the children's Anatomy of Melancholy". At one level wallowing in awful grossness of the sort that kids adore, at another an account of a midlife crisis. What a remarkable work and one that I can't really imagine a publisher signing off on today. A book that no child should be without. A book to pore over and find new details in. Briggs does a great job of bringing home to you how alien the bogeymen are. Reading it as an adult I got more of the humour, like the censored umbilical cord. The story follows Fungus as he goes about his night while quietly having an existential crisis. There's an interesting commentary on the British class system. recommended in BookTalk by Aidan Chambers, not in ILL ---------- bought on half.com ------------ read. Ug. I mean, I guess if you're into things that are either existentialist or grody, sure, it's clever. But basically it's a lot like [b:Gnomes|926908|Gnomes|Wil Huygen|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1400977076s/926908.jpg|2653871] only denser and dirtier. Fungus doesn't get anywhere with his angst - but then he wouldn't, in only one day, would he? Now, if this were the Field Guide (a la' [b:Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You|277187|Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You|Holly Black|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388374469s/277187.jpg|2410851]) to a series about Bogeys, it might have more value to me. 2.5 stars rounded up because it is clever and creative, which counts for a lot in my opinion. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Life in Bogeydom is full of snot, smells, slime, scum and other unspeakable things, and Bogeymen live under the ground revelling in allthe nastiness imaginable. Briggs has created a whole new world in this sophisticated cartoon-strip picture book for older children which will entice the most reluctant of readers into books.
