An acerbically funny collection of original verse by maverick multimillionaire publisher Felix Dennis
Product Description
When Jack Sued Jill is the latest collection of original verse by maverick multimillionaire publisher Felix Dennis. Taking the innocence of nursery rhymes and turning them into something altogether darker, Dennis turns his piercing eye on the follies and absurdities of modern life.
From ASBOs to Osama Bin Laden, creationism to crack houses, Humpty Dumpty to Tony Blair, nothing and no one is spared. Even more shockingly, once you've read Dennis's updating of 'Little Miss Muffet', you'll never be able to think of her in the same way again.
Scathing and hilarious, imaginative and unpredictable, When Jack Sued Jill is an essential collection of twisted nursery rhymes for the twenty-first century.

Format:Paperback
From the other reviews I was expecting something satirical, witty and funny.
Instead, this book is just bitter and unpleasant - don't waste your money.

A good fun book. Very clever rhymes enhanced by brilliant illustrations. Not for children, we don't want to confuse them or be too cynical with their own nursery rhymes. Adults will have a good laugh accompanied by some quite moving verses. Read and laugh.

Light hearted and extremely funny. A good gift for many occasions as it is satirical and humourous.

When Jack Sued Jill
Found this an excellent read, though not as goood as his 'straight' poetry.
But an interesting riposte in a more cynical age.

Adults only. No kids allowed!
I love the way the poems are set against the rhythm of children's nursery rhymes. It's very clever.
