George's grandma has some pretty odd views. In fact, she's not a very nice person at all. She thinks caterpillars and slugs are delicious and likes to crunch on beetles best of all. George can do nothing right in Grandma's eyes, so when it's time for her medicine he decides to give her a dose of his own special brew.

I remember catching bits of this book when it was read on Jackanory when I was a kid. It was totally bizarre, with illustrations only Quentin Blake could create. It'll be nice to finally read the full story.
