The Bolds 2 Books Set by Julian Clary (The Bolds, The Bolds to the Rescue)

The Bolds and The Bolds to The Rescue form a two-book set by Julian Clary. The stories follow Mr and Mrs Bold, a couple who appear to live an ordinary suburban life in a nice house in Teddington, with jobs such as writing Christmas cracker jokes and a shared love of a giggle.

There is, however, one key difference: they are hyenas living as humans. Covered in fur with tails tucked into their trousers, they really, really like to laugh. As their kindness becomes known, more animals begin to arrive at their home, turning everyday life into something far less predictable.

Synopses

The Bolds

Mr and Mrs Bold live in a nice house in Teddington and have jobs such as writing Christmas cracker jokes. They enjoy a good giggle, but they are not quite like everyone else: they are hyenas, covered in fur with tails tucked into their trousers, and they really like to laugh.

The Bolds to The Rescue

The Bolds are a family of hyenas living as humans in a suburban house. Their kindness to animal waifs and strays becomes legendary, and more and more animals arrive to stay, including Roger the sheep, Fifi the poodle and Sheila the crocodile.

When they take in a couple of race horses who are on the run, they begin to worry that their animal magnetism is becoming too much, and wonder if they have bitten off more than they can chew.
