How Tom Beat Captain Najork and his Hired Sportsmen by Russell Hoban is not maybe one of the best known books illustrated by Quentin Blake but it sure is a good one.
With brilliant character names like the sturdy and terrifying Aunt Fidget Wonkam-Smith and dastardly villains called Najork who are impeccably dressed and come up with cunning plans it's well worth finding a copy. A favourite of Tom we have now passed down his passion to Phin whom we kitted out in a double breasted navy jacket (thank you Bella at Gucci), his white JCrew shirt, pants from Bonpoint, school tie and his white hat on loan from Papoo. Oh yes and moustache by mama (Mac's gel eyeliner does a great job of staying put).
Dastardly indeed.
