Badger,
Beano and the Magic Mushroom
Badger, Beano and the Magic Mushroom was the first of
the Badger, Beano adventure series. Published by Wolfhound
Press in 1990. ISBN. 0 86327 263 0. WELCOME TO THE LAND
OF BEYOND !
They call him Badger because of the white streak down
the middle of his black hair. But in the Land of Beyond,
he is known as the Grey One and he has fantastic powers.
Beano is his faithful dog.
"BEYOND" is a strange land indeed, a roller coaster of
fantasy, magic and adventure. Here are the Lord of the
Unicorns, the evil Mefistofelees, the golden rabbit, the
terrible Grack, the Belt of the Ancients and Druids,
Banshees, Harpies, Thralls- a host of weird and
wonderful powers. There is trouble in the Land of
Beyond: only Grey One can save it from catastrophe, and
Badger is the Grey One.
A super fantasy of action and adventure.
"Jack Scoltock has a considerable gift for narrative
invention that should be worth looking for again and
again." JUNIOR BOOKSHELF UK.
