Stanley's Stick is a teaming-up of hefty talents - glorious poet John Hegley and award-winning illustrator Neal Layton. Stanley's stick is not just a stick. With a stick in hand, Stanley's options are endless - he flies to the moon, writes in the sand, goes fishing, plays a whistle and rides a dinosaur - and his imagination takes over and the magic begins.

Hegley's lyrical prose captures the free-wheeling expressiveness of childhood, and Layton's deceptively simple illustrations are full of wit and character. Sweet, magical and thoroughly entertaining, this is Hegley and Layton's...

An omnibus edition of Hegley's performance poems, The Brother-in-Law and Other Animals, together with two of his most popular books, Can I Come Down Now Dad? and These Were Your Father's.

A greatest hits, best of golden oldies compilation (with some new stuff) from 'Comedy's poet laureate' (Independent).
