GIGANTIC BEARD WAS EVIL HC

The job of the skin is to keep things in¦ On the buttoned-down island of Here, all is well. By which we mean: orderly, neat, contained and, moreover, beardless. Or at least it is until one famous day, when Dave, bald but for a single hair, finds himself assailed by a terrifying, unstoppable¦monster*! Where did it come from? How should the islanders deal with it? And what, most importantly, are they going to do with Dave? The first book from Guardian cartoonist Stephen Collins, The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil is an off-beat fable worthy of Roald Dahl. It is about life, death and the meaning of beards. (*We mean a gigantic beard, basically.)
