This wonderful anthology contains some of the nation's all-time favourite comic poetry. From much-loved classics such as Lewis Carroll's curious 'Jabberwocky' to lesser known and forgotten gems such as Gelett Burgess's 'The Purple Cow', Griff Rhys Jones takes us on a poetic tour of witty, nonsensical and plain laugh-out-loud funny poems.

Following the absolutely outstanding success of "The Nation's Favourite Poems" and "The Nation's Favourite Love Poems", this is a selection of favourite comic verse, chosen by Griff Rhys Jones, which includes pieces by Spike Milligan, Ogden Nash, Jonathan Swift and John Betjeman. There will obviously be a tie-in with National Poetry Day, and an audio edition will also be available.
