Publisher's Synopsis
Introducing Aunt Effie! Our Aunt Effie adored being ill. Best of all she liked colds, flu, and the collywobbles she got after eating green apples. Real illnesses she ignored until they gave up and sneaked away, but a runny nose, a stubbed toe, or a pimple, and she popped on her heavy green canvas invalid's pyjamas, jumped into bed, and bellowed for her nephews and nieces. And, since she could never remember which one of us was which, she called all our names. " Daisy-Mabel-Johnny-Flossie-Lynda-Stan-Howard-Marge-Stuart...Aunt Effie is the first of a new series of books by Jack Lasenby about Aunt Effie, her six gigantic pig dogs, her twenty-six nephews and nieces, their adventures in the kauri forests of the Coromandel and fighting off pirates in the Hauraki Gulf. A rollicking adventure with plenty of outrageous yarns and salty humour.
