With a foreword by Milligan-fan Eddie Izzard, this stunning anthology of Spike Milligan's work comprises of favourites from his classic books, (Adolf Hitler: My Part in his Downfall, Goodbye Soldier, Puckoon...) as well as scripts from the now-classic Goon show. Interspersing such comic genius is also a touching 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. All the favourite and funniest stories are there. For those who want an excellent introduction to the mind of Milligan or a welcome return to a much-loved genius, this is the ultimate Milligan reader.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44342443540699,"sku":"9780007171033-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/md11354700704.jpg?v=1697672119","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780007171033-secondhand-the-essential-spike-milligan","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
