More of wot I have read…



Ok, who pissed of the dragons then? Now I know why this summer has been so pants.

This is an entertaining and supremely silly book full of jokes and madcap adventures and is worth a look if you want some cheering up on a wet summer’s day.


‘There are very many reasons why British summers are either non-existant or, alternatively, held on a Thursday. Many of these reasons are either scientific, mad, or both – but all of them are wrong, especially the scientific ones. The real reason why it rains perpetually from January 1st to December 31st (incl.) is, of course, irritable Chinese water dragons.

Karen is one such legendary creature. Ancient, noble, near-indestructible and, for a number of wildly improbable reasons, working as an estate-agent, Karen is irritable quite a lot of the time. Hence Wimbledon. She becomes positively incensed, however, when she discovers that her father, the Adjutant General to the Dragon King of the North-west, has been kidnapped by a mob of livid weathermen.’
