The Boy Who Sprouted Antlers

English

By (author): John Yeoman

Illustrated by: Quentin Blake

It is nearly the summer holidays and Billy Dexter and his classmates are trying to finish their wicker baskets. Their craft teacher, Miss Beddows, is so appalled by Billys efforts that she keeps him in after class for a pep talk. As long as you set your mind on something and try hard enough, theres nothing you cant do. Billy loves the idea that he can do anything, but his friends, Melanie and Paul, dont agree. What about growing horns? suggests Melanie. It is a challenge Billy has to accept.
Brimming with humour and written in John Yeomans matter-of-fact style, this story from 1961 is vividly illustrated with Quentin Blakes inimitable drawings. It was the second in a long line of collaborations between John Yeoman and Quentin Blake, following soon after their first, A Drink of Water. See more
