Black Beauty - According to Spike Milligan
Spike Milligan
ISBN:1852276150
Virgin, London, 1996. Hardback. First Edition.
Fine in fine dustwrapper. Price-clipped. The wrapper on this copy is bright, unfaded. The book is square and very tight. There are no previous ownership inscriptions. The boards are clean and unfaded, the corners sharp. The pages are clean and bright. A lovely copy.
Thrill to Black Beauty as told by the horse itself. The re-telling of the classic story in the way only Spike could tell it. funny, sarcastic and completely off the wall.
The Observer, 22 September 2002: 'Milligan is often at his best here . the overall effect is both funny ha-ha and funny peculiar'.
