Once upon a worm - Roger Hargreaves

Worm and his friend Tail receive a letter in the post that changes their lives. An irreverent tale about getting rich.

I am a worm,
of humble means.
I live in a hole,
and eat baked beans!

Roger Hargreaves was the bestselling creator of the Mr Men series. Once Upon a Worm was first published by Hodder Children's Books in 1982.

Roger Hargreaves was an advertising copywriter when his son asked him what a tickle looked like. Thus the Mr Men series was born, followed by the Little Miss series. Now there are over 85 characters and a staggering 100 million copies have been sold in no fewer than 30 countries.
