Initially I had bought a few of the David Walliams books for my son as was recommended in the school read list. Sometimes, though, people felt safer sleeping on the platforms of London’s underground (Tube) train stations – it’s thought there were about 180,000 ‘Tubites’ in the capital each night. Shy, gentle, peaceful animals, they live in the forests of central, sub-Saharan Africa, including Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda. Together with his Uncle Sid, a keeper at the zoo, Eric and the gorilla embark on an epic adventure across London and to the seaside – but they haven’t escaped just yet.Since the publication of his ground-breaking first novel, The Boy in the Dress (2008), Walliams has seen unprecedented growth with global sales exceeding 45 million copies, and his books translated into 55 languages.
