โฆ Synopsis
Spike Milligan's letters contain some of the best material he ever wrote . . .
****Collected here for the first time are the funniest, rudest and most revealing of them - most of which have never been seen before - from one of the greatest comics of the twentieth century to some of its most famous politicians, actors, celebrities and rock stars (as well as a host of unlikely individuals on some surprising subjects):
- rounded teabags ('what did you do with the corners?')
- backless hospital gowns ('beyond my comprehension')
- heartfelt apologies ('pardon me for being alive')
and the imbalance of male and female ducks in London's parks. Here, then, is the real Spike Miligan: obsessive, rude, generous and relentlessly witty.
