Review # 1 was written on 2017-11-26 00:00:00 Brian Grace I won a copy of The Essential Spike Milligan with a selection of books by Spike together with a trophy, which was an inscribed nicely finished plank of wood with a giant nail set on an angle, as first prize in the inaugural Spike Fest art show as part of the Spike Milligan Comedy Festival held some years ago (2004) at Woy Woy by the Shire Council on the Central Coast. Spike's quip about Woy Woy being the world's largest above ground cemetery went down a treat with the locals. Apparently British tourists are delightfully surprised to discover that Woy Woy is an actual place. And a nice place and part of the world it is too. Many a time I've enjoyed fish and chips sitting by the water. Spike's mother lived at Woy Woy. I'm wondering, after Brexit, if a few Brits might get the same idea and desire to move to sunnier climes. Actually at present Australia is experiencing severe drought and unprecedented bushfires. Cheers.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-01-29 00:00:00 Aurora Vicars Part of my fondness for this is the experience of sharing it with my son, quoting bits to each other, but I hope many of them could raise a smile even in a jaded adult. It's a wonderful medley of very short poems ("There are holes in the sky where the rain gets in, But they're ever so small, that's why rain is thin.") to longer ones such as On the Ning Nang Nong, and also a couple of bizarre funny stories (several short chapters each): The Bald Twit Lion and the hapless knight, Sir Nobonk. And the illustrations are a delight as well.
