Jack and the Jellybean Stalk Funny recollections of a father

JOHN MARTIN knows where the bodies are buried, where the Jellybean Stalk was planted. This collection contains 51 true (well almost true, probably slightly embellished) stories from John Martin's years of parenting a toddler. Better known these days as a funny mystery novelist, Martin cut his teeth on his son cutting his teeth. He takes a light-hearted look at some serious issues, including childbirth, nappies, circumcision, pets, religion, Santa Claus and learning on occasions to cope without mummy. Until a father can wipe his baby son's piddle off his chin, he can't call himself a man. At least, that's what he tells himself.
