Awful Auntie
Awful Auntie is a children's book written by David Walliams and illustrated by Tony Ross. It is the seventh book by Walliams, a television comedian best known as an actor on the show ''Little Britain'', and as a judge on ''Britain's Got Talent''.
The book tells the story of Stella Saxby, the sole heir to Saxby Hall, who is plagued by her awful Aunt Alberta and her giant owl, who will stop at nothing to take her inheritance from her.〔David Walliams, (Awful Auntie overview ), Author's website.〕〔Harper Collins, (Awful Auntie overview ), Publisher's website.〕
==Plot==
The central character is Stella Saxby, whose parents, Lord and Lady Saxby, have died in a terrible automobile accident. In the wake of the tragedy, Stella's Aunt Alberta launches a plot to trick Stella out of her inheritance. Also featured are Wagner (Aunt Alberta's enormous owl), Soot (a chimney sweep) and Gibbon (the Saxbys' elderly butler who offers much comic relief).〔Philip Ardagh, (Awful Auntie review – David Walliams's best book yet ), The Guardian, 25 September 2014.〕
Alberta lives up to her moniker as being awful. She lacks all sympathy and morals, having chosen to fight on the German side in World War II simply because she preferred their uniforms. She has killed and tortured people and loves vicious owls. Stella rightfully fears her, and has to use all her wits to overcome the antagonism.〔
