Mr Gum and the Cherry Tree is a highly ridiculous and humorous novel from the popular Mr Gum series. The titular anti-hero, Mr. Gum, is the cruelest, dirtiest, and generally most unpleasant man in the fictional town of Lamonic Bibber. In this story, Mr. Gum’s wicked scheme revolves around a seemingly innocent cherry tree, which he likely tries to exploit or destroy for his own greedy, selfish purposes. The kind, determined young girl Polly must step in to protect the tree and the town from Mr. Gum's absurdity, leading to a charmingly chaotic adventure.
