When there is no more room in Hell, the dead will walk the earth.
But there are still lots of interesting things you can do.
My colleague received this for Christmas, and brought it in to work for me to read because he knew I would love it.
I just adored Ladybird books when I was a nipper. Even more than Mr Men. It's true. My favourites were the 'Well-Loved Tales' of the 60s and 70s. I mostly loved the artwork, and I still have a few of my most cherished tales.
I've been enjoying Ladybird's new spoof series. Aimed at adults (presumably those who would have originally read these books as children), they use illustrations originally used in the Ladybird's massive library of factual and fictional publications.

I think I laughed at each new spread.
I think this title might appeal more to fans of apocalyptic and dystopic fiction than Ladybird's other offerings. If you've watched lots of zombie films and TV, you'll get a kick out of this book.
I will be buying my own copy.

An eccentric and off the wall take on the much loved childrens ladybird book series. Seeing these pictures reprinted left me wondering what books they were ever in in the first place.
A great piece of silliness at Christmas.

Reading the books one gets as gifts sometimes takes you down weird roads, but considering that I'm currently reading Gravity's Rainbow, this time that isn't the case. This was in a strange way an oasis of near normalcy while adrift in an ocean of Pynchon. I may be the only reader with that impression. In any case, it's well put together and got a good ratio of laughs per joke. Solid very light and very short read.

Hilarious pairing of words that help the pictures tell a different story.
