Going Wild in Woolly Bush: Bernard and Barbara's Guide to Getting It All Out in the Open Book

Going Wild in Woolly Bush: Bernard and Barbara's guide to getting it all out in the open (HB) is a charming, laugh-out-loud hardcover for readers who adore British eccentricity, whimsical illustrations, and tongue-in-cheek outdoor advice. Perfect for parents, gift buyers, and fans of quirky humor, this book follows Bernard and Barbara from the peculiar village of Woolly Bush as they celebrate life in the great outdoors—woolly buildings and all.

What’s inside
Bernard and Barbara, residents of Woolly Bush, offer a series of witty reflections and illustrated scenes that celebrate outdoor living with a playful twist. Woolly Bush has every village staple—the cake shop, the vegetable show, the vicar—except two notable differences: everything is made of wool, and none of the characters wear clothes. The result is a delightfully absurd collection of situations featuring the infamous nudinits, a troupe of cheerful bare-bottomed villagers whose antics are full of double entendres, jollity, and wholesome mischief.
