Robert Rankin is one of the great British eccentrics standing alongside Viv Stanshall Spike Milligan & Neil Innes amongst others. ' To call Rankin irreverent doesn't begin to describe just how very good he is at playing with the rules' says the MIRROR while THE DAILY EXPRESS says: ' Everybody should read at least one Robert Rankin in their life'
