Description

Craig Brown (no not the Scottish football manager) is considered one of the funniest, the most revered and the most prolific humorist we have. This book collects together the best of his work spanning the last twenty years, teaming it with new material. This collection of parody, satire, whimsy and wit, includes extracts and articles from Private Eye, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Independent, Vanity Fair, The Mail on Sunday, The Spectator and many more. They capture the essence of British life - he is as funny on soaps, Posh Spice and Tony Blackburn as he is on Art and Politics.
