Four stories about Horrid Henry, everyone's favourite awful child, and — as Books for Keeps called him — 'the child every teacher has nightmares about'.

Four fabulous new stories: Horrid Henry builds himself a time machine and tricks Perfect Peter, Perfect Peter strikes back, Henry eats snails at Restaurant Le Posh and is dragged out on a horrendous hike.

These hilarious stories are brilliantly read by the infectiously cheeky Miranda Richardson (Queen Elizabeth in Blackadder), with sound effects and specially written music.
