Beschreibung
Odd Socks. is the first collection of comic verse by John Robert Brown. Enjoy a journey around Brown''s special world as he considers the arrival of traffic roundabouts in Japan in 2013, contemplates the uniqueness of Nuneaton and in literate and carefully-crafted verses, muses on the correct spelling and pronunciation of ''aitch''. In these pages we also meet a Blemya, (the mythical man with no head), are invited to consider the atheist views of academic Dr. Richard Dawkins, whose habit is wearing the odd socks of the title. We learn also about the ''pullet surprise'' of American jazzman Ornette Coleman, and are introduced to ingenious anagrams devised by another world-famous musician. John Robert Brown. also shares the delights of enduring an intrusive medical inspection by way of an endoscope, takes a look in Who''s Who, and considers the experience of reading music at Oxford. Odd Socks is a welcome addition to that too small community of intelligent and witty poets. The book is illustrated by Harry Venning. , the creator of The Guardian''s weekly Clare in the Community cartoon. Harry Venning is an award-winning cartoonist, illustrator and comedy writer. His work has also appeared in The Mail On Sunday. , Sunday Telegraph. , Independent. , Sunday Times. , The Stage. and Radio Times. His Clare in the Community books are published by Penguin Random House.
