Welcome to the Jumble Jungle Wood, a fabulous place full of the most extraordinary and unusual plants and creatures, including the Narzat.
Recognisable by his beaming smile and deep brown eyes, and extremely mucky appearance, the Narzat lives happily in the Jumble Jungle Wood with his friends the Chatty Chirper Bird, who never stops talking, and the Looky Lizard, who never speaks a word but still manages the communicate perfectly well.
The arrival of the deliciously despicable Lord and Lady Snide and their much nicer maid Polly disrupts things for everyone and has surprisingly happy results for the Narzat.
Bursting at the seams with invention and humour, this story is unlike anything else, its vivid cacophonous world a brilliant antidote to the grey days of winter.
The Narzat lives in the Ungle Bungle Jungle with his friends the Looky Looky Lizard (a feisty reptile who communicates through sign language) and the Chatty Chiwunga (a comically talkative bird who never shuts up). Little is known about how the Narzat arrived there, but he wears a necklace bearing a meaningful inscription.
