The Strange and Unlikely Tale of Montgomery, the Mysterious Bird of Mystery
Walker Books and Scorpio Books warmly invite you to the launch of The Strange and Unlikely Tale of Montgomery, the Mysterious Bird of Mystery by Antony Elworthy. All are welcome, and refreshments are provided. Please send in your RSVP to events@scorpiobooks.co.nz
From the animator of The Corpse Bride, Coraline and Isle of Dogs, comes a hilarious, illustrated tale about Gramps’s life as a magician.
Gramps had what they call a ‘Chequered Career,’ which he insists on regaling his sceptical grandson about. He’s been a stuntman and a deep-sea diver, but his most exciting and discombobulating career was as a magician.
Known as The Astounding Alfredo, he became famous worldwide, especially for the disappearing trick with his dove – Montgomery, The Mysterious Bird of Mystery. Unfortunately, Montgomery is not just mysterious, but malevolent, envious and ambitious.
