Carol Carnage: Malicious Mishearings of Your Yuletide Favourites

Description

Every year will see one po-faced carol converted line-by-line into festive silliness, filth and fun, the kind of bawdy humour that puts the bang into a Christmas cracker. Imagine them as seasonal alternatives to Roald Dahl's brilliantly iconoclastic Revolting Rhymes; each packaged as small, full-colour hardbacks and each designed to tweak the noses of those who take their Christmases far too seriously.

Martin Rowson, born 15 February 1959, is a British cartoonist and novelist. His genre is political satire and his style is scathing and graphic. His work frequently appears in The Guardian and The Independent. He also contributes freelance cartoons to other publications, such as The Daily Mirror and the Morning Star.

If you still giggle at the simple pleasure of shepherds washing their socks by night, then this book is a must have. Martin Rowson is in his smutty, inky element -- Phill Jupitus I have treasured Rowson's work for many years now -- Will Self A master of inky invective -- Ralph Steadman All sorts of comic genius -- Owen Jones Martin Rowson?
