Reviews
Highly amusing... an absolute gem... Full of awful puns and delivered with Jones's particular brand of dry sardonic humour, this is quite brilliant' * Cotswold Life *
Lavishly illustrated * Good On Paper *
As a hater of puns, this collection of comic tiny tales and illustrations revelling in smart wordplay should by rights be anathema to me. Instead I find myself laughing out loud page after page at the brio in its unashamedly silly (and simultaneously very clever) humour... Rich with delightful references to high and popular culture, from Shakespeare and Schopenhauer to the Rolling Stones. It is, I am loath to admit, a complete joy' * Big Issue *
Readers of a delicate disposition need to be aware of the dangers. I hurt myself reading this book - my sides, mostly * Druid Life *
The discerning many will come to this pleasantly racing-green volume for the gimmick of it, and stay for Jones's sheer relentless glee and his charming drawings of the bespectacled Algernon and the rest * TLS *
