This is Simon Drew's 21st book of nonsense - thus establishing him in the same league as Jane Austen (or at least of her neighbour's gardener).                       Shakespeare,Wordsworth and Blake will all no doubt be turning in their one enormous grave; in fact,almost anyone called William will now want to avoid this unfortunate book.                  Recent research has shown that anyone who thinks Agatha Christie is a good writer might find this book a bit too high brow: think of all those people who need care in the community who could so easily be saved from being a drain on the state by simply reading this book.            Goverments across the world have requested copies to be distributed to all their worst political prisoners. One copy has already been in a canister and sent into space to be found by future interstellar civilisations.In fact a suggestion has been made that ALL copies of this book should be sent into space. . .
