✦ Synopsis
In Spike Milligan’s intense, steaming, palpitating, lustful, unexpurgated retelling of Lady Chatterley’s romps with a member of the lower orders (with footnotes), many hitherto unknown aspects are revealed (as well as — all too frequently — the gamekeeper’s delicate white loins).
Perhaps the reader may not have been aware of Sir Clifford Chatterley’s penchant for stretched haddock, or of the fact that he was a master of Musk Ox maintenance? Or of Mellors’s fetish for collecting toenail clippings? Certainly, readers will pick up a multiplicity of tips on flower-arranging and where to put their creeping-jenny. Which brings us back to Mellors’s delicate white loins (again and again), and the hanky-panky in t’hut down in t’woods betwixt John Thomas and Lady Jane. Aye happen. And poor old Sir Clifford dead from t’waist down up at t’Big ’Ouse an’ all.
Spike Milligan’s rendition is both fanciful and illuminating (at least two candle-power), unfaithful and downright distasteful — fancy having it off with a forget-me-not up your nostril.
‘Those unacquainted with his previous books will discover why he inspires such devotion in his fans... the author’s own enjoyment is inescapably infectious’
