How Tom Beat Captain Najork and His Hired Sportsmen

This is the story of Tom who likes to fool around. His aunt Fidget Wonkham-Strong thought he was playing, and that too much playing was bad for kids. So she called in Captain Najork to teach him a lesson. But - it turns out fooling around was the exact thing to do to teach Tom what he needed to learn. It's a great story with a happy ending and I just adore Quentin Blake's illustrations!
