Fungus The Bogeyman was my favourite book in primary school. I remember wondering what kind of grown-ups could have written it. Miss Dixon read it aloud to a chorus of delighted ‘uuurrrghs’ and “eeewwws’ from my classmates. The only thing more revolting than ‘snot and bogey pie’ is ‘a cup of cold sick’. I found this copy in London a few months back. While some of the current edition has been blacked-out and deemed inappropriate, all-in-all it’s still fully disgusting. Thank you Raymond Briggs – you taught us how to puke outside the lines.
