A FIRST EDITION of Fungus the Bogeyman from 1977, in great condition. Illustrator Raymond Briggs was probably best known for his grumpy Santa, but this lonely green ogre has stayed in our mind since childhood.
The book follows Fungus as his day progresses, and as he undergoes a mild existential crisis, pondering what his seemingly pointless job of scaring mundane humans is really for.
A collectable first edition of a 1970s British classic.
