The Illustrated Christmas Cracker
Sinopsis
For over forty years, John Julius Norwich has been sending out his Christmas Crackers - a personal collection of quirky quotes and literary odds and ends - to his friends instead of a Christmas card.
In The Illustrated Christmas Cracker Quentin Blake has made his own selection of favourite pieces and has illustrated them in his own trademark style. From curious dictionary definitions (Carphology. Delirious fumbling with the bedclothes,Concise Oxford Dictionary) and tortuous palindromes (Live dirt up a side-track carted is a putrid evil) to eighteenth-century accounts of drunken pigs and Benjamin Franklins account of inventing bifocals, this cracker is stuffed with surprising, offbeat, often hilarious gems.
Enlivened by Quentin Blakes witty illustrations, this book is the perfect stocking-filler for the discerning customer.
