Humour

Spike Milligan's retellings of classic stories are among his best-loved works. In this commemorative edition, his final five "According to..." books are collected as a lasting reminder of Spike's unique comic genius. Relive "Robin Hood", in which Little John becomes Big Dick and the Merry Men are joined by Groucho Marx. Give yourself the willies with "Frankenstein", whose monster comes to life craving a cigarette. Join Sherlock Holmes for "The Hound of the Baskervilles", with Guinness and Newcastle Brown are taken intravenously and a woman cries in the night. Thrill to "Black Beauty" as told by the horse himself. And hunt for buried treasure with Long John Silver, Jim Hawkins and Groucho Marx in "Treasure Island".
