The Beast and the Bethany

描述

伊壁尼澤·特威澤正值青春年少，才511歲。他在自己的豪宅閣樓上養了一只怪獸，餵它各種各樣的東西（包括表演猴、他的寵物貓和偶爾的仙人掌），作為回報，怪獸會為伊壁尼澤吐出禮物，還有讓他保持年輕和美麗的藥水。

The most exciting new children's book of 2020 and a modern classic in the making. The Beast and the Bethany has all the classic macabre humour of Roald Dahl with the warmth and charm of Despicable Me, finished off with a gleeful bite of Little Shop of Horrors! This book should be on every little monster's birthday and Christmas list.

Ebenezer Tweezer is a youthful 511-year-old. He keeps a beast in the attic of his mansion, who he feeds all manner of things (including performing monkeys, his pet cat and the occasional cactus) and in return the beast vomits out presents for Ebenezer, as well as potions which keep him young and beautiful. But the beast grows ever greedier, and soon only a nice, juicy child will do. So when Ebenezer encounters orphan Bethany, it seems like (everlasting) life will go on as normal. But Bethany is not your average orphan . . .
