Shortlist for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize 2010

Beloved children's illustrator Quentin Blake's connection with Roald Dahl continues to be celebrated with a nomination in both categories for this year's Funny Prize. Blake is honoured on this year's shortlists for a book about a woman with magical "pockets galore", which tickled the fancy of the judges for the six and under shortlist, and for - in what is his second Roald Dahl Funny Prize shortlisted collaboration with the comedian David Walliams – a book about the truly honking Mr Stink, which the judges found delightfully disgusting for the seven to 14s.
