1. You’re a Bad Man, Mr. Gum!  (1hour 1min)

Good evening. Mr. Gum is a complete horror who hates children, animals, fun, and corn on the cob. This book’s all about him. And an angry fairy who lives in his bathtub. And Jake the dog, and a little girl called Polly and an evil, stinky butcher all covered in guts. And there’s heroes and sweets and adventures and EVERYTHING.

2. Mr. Gum and the Biscuit Billionaire (1hour 8mins)

Mr. Gum is back in this second hilarious audiobook and he's as nasty as ever! In fact, he's absolutely grimsters. But this audio book's not just about him. Meet a gingerbread man named Alan Taylor who has electric muscles! Plus, all our favourite characters are also back: the little girl called Polly, the evil butcher called Billy William The Third, and the very wise man, Friday O'Leary. And, who could forget loveable Jake the dog, or the angry fairy who lives in Mr. Gum's bathtub and whacks him on the head with a frying pan?

3. Mr. Gum and the Goblins (1hour 14mins)

Mr. Gum and the hideous Billy William the Third are once more mucking things up for everyone. They're a-schemin' and a-hatchin' an' making their bad plans up on Goblin Mountain. Can the brave travelers (the wise old man Friday O'Leary and the small girl Polly) make it past the Three Impossible Challenges of Goblin Mountain and save the town from a fate worse than something very bad indeed? In an epic tale of courage, valour, and plain idiocy only one thing is sure: the truth is a lemon meringue! Mr. Gum is back in a third hilarious story, read by Andy Stanton and with music and sound effects.

4. Mr. Gum and the Power Crystals (1hour 19mins)

Can it really be true that there’s an ancient curse on the town of Lamonic Bibber? And you guessed it, that old meddler Mr. Gum and his trusty sidekick Billy William the Third have something to do with it. But… our favourite heroes Polly, Friday, and gingerbread biscuit Alan Taylor are determined to save the town (sigh of relief). Hang on to your heads and eyeballs as you are whisked to the land of talking dogs, silly songs, and the best chase scene you’ve ever read. 

5. Mr. Gum and the Dancing Bear (1hour 22mins)

It's a bold new look for Mr. Gum, ready for a new generation of nibbleheads. Good evening. Do you like bears called Padlock? Course you do. Do you like hot-air balloons? Course you do. Do you like tall sailing ships with mad sea captains, and horrifying old villains and words like ‘wab!’, ‘tungler’, and ‘kelp’? COURSE you do! Well, guess what, THE TRUTH IS A LEMON MERINGUE. 

6. Mr. Gum and the Cherry Tree (1hour 19mins)

Good evening and welcome to a tale of forests! Of dreadful villains! Of caterpillars called Graham! And of a great big BEEFER of a cherry tree!
