Ivan the Terrible

A classic children’s story from one of our best-loved authors, former Children’s Laureate Anne Fine. It’s Ivan’s first day at his new school, and Boris is told to look after him, and translate for him, because Ivan can only speak Russian. So when Ivan starts greeting people as ‘lowly shivering worms’, Boris realises that he’s going to have his work cut out for him. And that’s just the start of the day.
