Giles Andrae, creator of the Purple Ronnie character, has written a second rhyming adventure with Oxford illustrator Korky Paul, best known for Winnie The Witch. Sir Scallywag and the Deadly Dragon Poo (Puffin, £6.99) tells of the six-year-old knight’s battle to thwart Baron Greedyguts’ plan to steal the sweet machine. Puffin is hoping it will be as big a success as the first collaboration, Sir Scallywag and the Golden Underpants.
