Geordie's Grannie wis a grabbie crabbit auld wumman wi peeliewally broon
teeth and a wee snirkit-up mooth like a dug's bahookie. She wis aye
compleenin, girning, greetin, grummlin and mulligrumphin aboot somethin or
ither. She wis a meeserable auld grumph.
As far as she’s concerned, Geordie can do nothing right. But when it’s time
for him to give her a dose of her daily medicine, Geordie decides to mix up
a concoction from his own recipe, with astonishing results! Sit back and
watch what happens when Grannie takes a spoonful of Geordie’s magic broon
brew.
Following on from the best-selling The Eejits, Matthew Fitt has written another Scots version of a classic Roald Dahl story. Strong stomachs and a head for heights are required for the
hilarious tale of Geordie’s Mingin Medicine.
