Reviews
"This man Stefan Themerson should be better known than I suspect he is. The Mystery of the Sardine... is a fascinating piece of work, written with the elegance of haute couture." - The Times "Themerson's neo-surrealist style enables him felicitously to interweave incongruities, lucid exercises, shrewd observations, jokes, lightly worn learning, cris de coeur and parables." - Times Literary Supplement"
