Spike Milligans publishing career began over forty years ago when Silly Verse for Kids was published in 1959. His poems were inspired by listening to his own children & subsequently his grandchildren & marvelling at the way they could invent new words or incorporate sound effects into their everyday language. Spike did not regard children as small adults but as entirely different species who lived in a secret magical world that very few adults understood. For decades he delved into this world delighting children
- & adults
- of all ages with his poems & stories. Illustrated throughout with Spikes own drawings & specially commissioned artworks this is an ideal read-alone or read-aloud book for Spike fans of all ages featuring: Silly Verse for Kids (1959) The Bald Twit Lion (1968) A Book of Milliganimals (1968) Unspun Socks from a Chickens Laundry (1968) Sir Nobonk & the Terrible Awful Dreadful Nasty Dragon (1982) & Startling Verse for All the Family (1987).
