Review:
A delight
This was originally published in 1975 as The Puffin Book Of
Improbable Records, and has been making me smile ever since. The wonderful absurdity of imagination
combined with Quentin Blake's incomparable illustrations make this an absolute
joy – even to this definitely-not-young person.
I mean, who wouldn't want to know that the friendliest woodlouse in the
world is called Sidney, and that he
has 985 friends? Or that the world's
soppiest fairy story is Cuddly-Bunnykins and Little Fairy Twinklewand by Emily
Tichweed? I rest my case.
This is an absolute delight of a book. Very warmly recommended.
