A Spaniard in the Works cover

John Lennon's second collection of poems, stories and drawings back in print to mark its 50th Anniversary

Following the incredible success of his first book, In His Own Write, John Lennon's second collection of stories, drawings and poems is just as witty, whimsical and wonderful as his debut. First published in 1965 it is now back in print, looking just as it did when it first appeared half a century ago.

It owes something to Edward 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 * *
Irresistible . . . the drawings are marvellous * * SUNDAY TELEGRAPH * *
