Louise Dobson explores the main characters in The terrible tale of the Lambton Worm through words, pictures and drama.

The terrible tale of the Lambton Worm is an action-packed, humorous story that brings to life the legend of Young Lambton and his fierce battle with the sheep-snaffling, child-terrorising Lambton Worm. This legend is bound to get your class excited and enthralled by events that (allegedly) happened in our very own country!
