This title includes an introduction by Sir Paul McCartney. First published in 1964 and 1965, "In His Own Write and A Spaniard in the Works" are a brilliantly inventive and offbeat collection of John Lennon's stories, drawings and poems. Lunatic humour... it defies description. It owes something to Lear's nonsense books, but from there on in Lennon is on his own... Zany, offbeat, and illustrated by his grotesque spidery pen. It jolts the reader into gusts of laughter * Guardian * Very funny... beautifully designed * Times Literary Supplement * Irresistible...the drawings are marvellous * Sunday Telegraph * Fascinating.... It goes down like pure whimsy and then back-kicks like a sick mule. * Sunday Times * Very inventive... It's all in Lennon's favour that despite the adulation and soft soap, he has remained as tough, arrogant and uncompromising * Observer *
