Story
Back in 1972, people had never heard of Samantha, Sven, nor Mrs. Trellis, and had no idea of the rules of Mornington Crescent, nor what points are for. The year 2022 marks 50 years of radio insanity—of the nation's finest comic minds being given silly things to do, with some of them set to music. Celebrate the Golden Anniversary of the greatest radio comedy of all time, the antidote to panel games, with the epic and exhaustive, fully authorized history of both I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again and its beloved spin-off, I'm Sorry, I Haven't a Clue.

Fantasy icon Jane Yolen is adored by generations of readers and listeners of all ages. Now she triumphantly returns with this inspired gathering of fractured fairy tales and legends. Yolen breaks open the classics to reveal their crystalline secrets: a philosophical bridge that misses its troll, a spinner of straw as a falsely accused moneylender, the villainous wolf adjusting poorly to retirement. Each of these offerings features a new author note and original poem, illuminating tales that are old, new, and brilliantly refined.
Summary
Delightfully funny folktale compendium written and compiled by Jem Roberts revisiting classic folktales and reinterpreting them for a 21st-century audience. Featuring famous heroes such as Dick Whittington, Robin Hood, and King Arthur to the lesser known, but no less entertaining, Mollie Whuppie, Bran the Blessed, and Jack O'Kent. Something for everyone of all ages in this lively collection.
The magic of Roald Dahl meets the anarchy of Terry Jones, via the energy of Rik Mayall. An updated Brothers Grimm for British folklore - with every tale lovely rooted in the landscape of the UK. A tourist guide is provided for every tale, encouraging everyone to visit the places where each story..."really" happened.
Critic reviews
