The hero of this story is a boy called Claudius Hobbs though he prefers not to publicise his first name. He and his friend Brett help Miss Klein, a supervisor at their school, to move endless cartons of toilet paper into a store room off the headmaster's study. The toilet paper, Hobbs and the little-loved wife of a former headmaster all come together in the macabre climax of this very funny story. The illustrations by Australian artist Christina Brimage add a nice, light-hearted touch.
