Lord Commander Horatio Frederick Wallington Nincompoop Maximus Pimpleberry the Third (or Horace, for short) has been a statue on a plinth in Princes Park for hundreds of years. But now he's friends with Harriet and every time he leaves his pedestal he's ready for all sorts of adventures. When Harriet starts a holiday job, Horace is inspired to find his own gainful employment, with hilarious results. Packed with splendiferous pictures this is a rollicking read for children of five and up.
