Reseña del libro "The (Partially) True Story of Eric the Monkey (en Inglés)"
A young monkey called Eric is rescued from a zoo in a daring raid by Harry, an odd-job man with a colourful past, and so begins an adventure that leads Eric to the North Pole and Father Christmas. Based on real-life places and people this beautifully illustrated tall tale is part kids story book and part pop-culture homage to things Manchester, the music, the endeavour, the humour. This semi-autobigraphical work is a feature length epic featuring: The Stone Roses, Daring and Ridiculous Adventures, The Happy Mondays, Oasis, The Smiths, The Hacienda, J. S. Lowry, a Cockney Weasel called ziggy, A Great Music Soundtrack, Sheds, Buddhism, Information Technology, Stockport, Manchester City Football Club, Manchester United (for the sake of fairness), #ACITYUNITED, Death and Mass Destruction, Elves and RoboElves, Brief Encounters and Great Escapes, Evil Empires and Evil Dogs, Accountancy, Happiness and Sadness, Exotic Beasts. Many other things. And of course. Monkeys. Suitable for children from ages 5 to 105 (with parental guidance) The (Partially) True story of Eric the Monkey is a perfect bedtime story book, coffee table book, toilet book, whatever book. Excerpt: "Once Upon a Time there was a Monkey called...Eric. And he lived in an igloo at the North Pole, where he worked for Father Christmas (in the Mail Department).
