Author(s): Spike Milligan

Children's

This delightful anthology of Spike's poems and stories for children comprises of his classic children's books Unspun Socks From A Chicken's Laundrey, Sir Nobonk and the terrible, awful, dreadful, naughty, nasty Dragon, A Book of Milliganimals, Startling Verse For All The Family, Silly Verse For Kinds and The Bald Twit Lion. Illustrated throughout with Spike's own drawings and specially commissioned artworks, this is an ideal read-alone or read-aloud book for Spike fans of all ages. Spike Milligan's publishing career began forty years ago when Silly Verse For Kids was published in 19598. His poems were inspired by listening to his own children, and subsequently his grandchildren, and marvelling at the way they could invent new words or incorporate sound effects into their everyday language. Spike does not regard children as small adults, but as an entirely different species who live in a secret, magical world that very few adults understand. For four decades he has delved into this world, delighting children of all ages with his poems and stories. (Preceeding text courtesy www.virginbooks.com) Boxed Set
