Following the incredible success of his first book, In His Own Write, John Lennon's second collection of stories, drawings and poems is just as witty, whimsical and wonderful as his debut. First published in 1965 it is now back in print, looking just as it did when it first appeared half a century ago.

Editorial Reviews

Review

It owes something to Edward Lear's nonsense books, but from there on in Lennon is on his own . . . Zany, offbeat, and illustrated by his grotesque spidery pen. It jolts the reader into gusts of laughter (GUARDIAN)

Irresistible . . . the drawings are marvellous (SUNDAY TELEGRAPH)

About the Author

John Lennon is one of the most iconic figures of the twentieth century, a musician, singer and songwriter of extraordinary popularity and influence who was tragically murdered in December 1980. Whilst the Beatles, the band with which he is most associated, only existed for eight years they transformed the face and sound of the Sixties and their body of work is the most listened to and covered in the history of popular music.

The great poetic book for beetle fans

The great poetic book for beetle fans
I like how it has, amazing poems and written by famous beetle John Lennon, but I don’t like how it has some marks like a dent in the back and in the front more of a hole some of the poems have some pretty weird crap like seems of sex and killing a cow

As a Lennon fan I enjoyed this immensely, but didn't understand a word in it. I think that was John's intention.

Second book by Lennon is another fun read and shows his need for this outrageous outlet for his skewed sense of humor.
Made a great gift for the friend I had given the 1st book to.

John is so wonderfully clever with the way he mixes words. He's lived his life outside of the box of normal thinking. To read this is like getting to really know what he is like. Alway a surprise around the corner.

I've owned the paperback version of this for years. Love finally having the hardcover version with the original picture. Lennon's humor was strange and clever.

I love this book. It is a great dive into John Lennon’s skill with words. Don’t have the book anymore though since I lent it to someone and they never gave it back. It’s been two years…

I was happy with the item when I had opened it. However, Amazon’s drivers continue to lie claiming that items are handled to residents, when they are left outside in hallways or even outside buildings. They could easily be removed by anyone! Not good!

I first read this as a 14 yr old. Shaped my sense of humour already infected by Milligan. My partner read it and did not find it funny. Has it aged well? I still laughed out loud at Jesus el Pifco.
