Titles in This Set The Girl, the Penguin, the Home-Schooling and the Gin The Woman, the Mink, the Cod and the Donkey Details Condition: Brand New Format: Hardback Publisher: John Blake Publishing (The Girl, the Penguin, the Home-Schooling and the Gin) Age Range: Adult / Humour Gift Book Overview This two-book hardback set brings together two of the funniest, most affectionate parodies to emerge from lockdown-era publishing: Guy Adams's The Girl, the Penguin, the Home-Schooling and the Gin and Margerie Swash's The Woman, the Mink, the Cod and the Donkey . Both spoof the gentle tone of modern illustrated fables, swapping quiet wisdom for wine, chaos and dry British humour — a perfect gift for parents, teachers and anyone who survived home-schooling with a sense of humour intact. About the Books The Girl, the Penguin, the Home-Schooling and the Gin is Guy Adams's parody of the bestselling illustrated fable The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse . A talking Penguin dispenses advice in exactly the way penguins never do, while a beleaguered parent navigates home-schooling, discovering that a five-year-old can out-perform them in maths, spelling and patience. Warm domestic chaos meets surreal comic timing in a beautifully illustrated hardback that mimics the look of the classic it lovingly mocks. The Woman, the Mink, the Cod and the Donkey by Margerie Swash follows a similar template, sending a weary woman on a journey — not towards wisdom, but an open pub after a long lockdown. Along the way she meets a soulful mink, a philosophical cod and a donkey who bears a suspicious resemblance to certain world leaders. Together they swap life lessons on travel insurance, breathable trousers and the restorative power of a decent glass of wine. Gentle, silly and charmingly illustrated, it's a pitch-perfect parody for readers who've already fallen for the genre it affectionately skewers.
