The Queen’s Orang-Utan: Unabridged Comic Relief edition
Written exclusively for Comic Relief 2015 by David Walliams and hilariously read by David Walliams, Miranda Hart and Rob Brydon. From Number One bestselling picture book author, David Walliams, comes this spectacularly funny story for children of 3 and up.
A bored queen. A birthday wish. An outrageous orang-utan. Everything’s about to go bananas!
This right royal mash-up of mischief and mayhem is brilliantly brought to life by the starry collaboration of David Walliams, Miranda Hart and Rob Brydon.
Written by David Walliams as an exclusive children’s picture book especially for Comic Relief – David will be giving all of his proceeds from the book to the charity. HarperCollins UK will also donate all profits from the publishing of this edition to Comic Relief.
