Description
Join the nuns from the Convent of Our Lady of Immense Proportions for an evening of hilarity and madness. If Roald Dahl and The Addams Family wrote a book, it might be as wicked, warped and hilarious as this treasury of nuns' tales from the loony bin. A new edition on the 1986 award-winning picture book in rhyming verse.
