Doctor Foster went to Gloucester

Description

This classic nursery rhyme is retold in a picture book version which sees Doctor Foster not only travelling to Gloucester, but also Oxford, Gosport, Stockton and Bognor, encountering not just rain but a range of other extreme weather conditions. Illustrated by David Semple, whose characterful artwork suits the doctor's dramatic journey perfectly. Illustrations: Full colour throughout

Russell Punter was born in Bedfordshire, England. As a boy he enjoyed writing and illustrating his own stories. He later trained as a graphic designer before entering publishing. Since then, he has written over ninety books for children, including original fiction and adaptations of classic novels.

This is a nice twist on an old rhyme which sees the redoubtable doctor move on from a soaking in the West Country to further misadventures as he moves from town to town. * The Guardian *
