Publisher's Synopsis

Contains BARRY TROTTER AND THE SHAMELESS PARODY, BARRY TROTTER AND THE UNNECESSARY SEQUEL and the all new BARRY TROTTER AND THE DEAD HORSE.

Supplied in a high-tech biodegrable, epoxy resin fixed, folded paper-pulp display case (cardboard box), these three books tell the ghastly tale of Barry Trotter, Lon Measley and Ermine Cringer. Amusingly, the story starts when barry is 22, goes on to tell what happened when he was 39 and then, because we couldn't think what do next, zips back, via a supremely unlikely plot device, to when he was 9.

Laugh! at Lord Valumart's bizarrely inept attempts to kill Barry.

Wonder! just how Bumblemore got to be headmaster.

Sigh! when you realise that it isn't a Harry Potter book after all.

What? You've only just worked that out? Oh dear, oh dear.
