While there’s certainly no shortage of fart-themed books for children, and no sign that the perennial appeal of parps is waning among contemporary readers, actor and comedian Stephen Mangan’s The Fart that Changed the World is a satisfyingly surreal addition to the canon of flatulence-themed fiction. 

With crisply comic line drawings by graphic designer and illustrator Anita Mangan, this story of a king whose unexpected fart unexpectedly changes the world is sure-fire way for kids to entertain themselves. What’s more, it’s also excellent for reading aloud (the joys of being read to at an older age should never be underestimated), with a strident, knowing tone of voice that makes it easy - and satisfying - to inject further funniness and drama.

On the very morning King Fabian is set to host neighbouring rulers, he emits a morning fart. “Tight and high-pitched like a short, sharp note from a bugle”, this was “a fart like no other in history. This was a fart with consequences…a fart that changed the world.” When Dimmock the royal butler is blamed and confined to the dungeons, the royal household faces a problem, for the butler is the brains behind the crown, not bumbling Fabian.

And so it falls to young kitchen hand Frank to step into the breach (or should that be breeches?) as the royal butler, and it falls also to Frank to step up to save Fabian from unfortunate fart-triggered embarrassment.
