And it love, just loves, to be eaten: "Eat away, chew away, munch and bolt and guzzle, never leave the table till you're full up to the muzzle", it rudely urges the Noble Order of Puddin'-Owners, and of course the three members are delighted to oblige. But a secret like a magic pudding is hard to keep, and the envious eyes of professional puddin'-thieves are on the brave trio and their prize. The puddin'-thieves are cunning and masters of disguise, but no match in the end for the even greater ingenuity or righteous puddin'-owners. A classic for children of all ages to read. 171 pages Paperback
