Book Review of Curse of the Giant Hogweed (Peter Shandy, Bk 5)

Curse of the Giant Hogweed (Peter Shandy, Bk 5)
reviewed on + 24 more book reviews


This is probably the weirdest of Charlotte MacLeod's strange stories. Her sense of humor is as apparent as ever, and it is extremely clever writing. Referrals to the Chronicles of Narnia and other English fantasy tales occur as Peter Shandy and his professor friends help England and the world get rid of the giant hogweed. They find themselves in another time, in another place and it is a farcical British fantasy story. It is different, but it is still Charlotte MacLeod!
