This anthology of Spike Milligan's work comprises of favourites from his classic books, (such as "Adolf Hitler: My Part in his Downfall", "Goodbye Soldier" and "Puckoon") as well as scripts from the now-classic Goon show. Interspersing such comic genius is also a collection of letters and his celebrated and liberating writings on depression, demonstrating the diverse talent of a man whose creative output spanned over half a century. A selection of children's poetry and writings ("Unspun Socks for a Chicken's Laundry", "A Book of Milliganimals", "Silly Verse for Kids" and much more) reveals Spike's irresistible connection with the childlike imagination and a brillant sense of the ridiculous.
