This second superb collection of one of Britain's best-loved comedians is an excellent companion to the original, The Essential Spike Milligan. Spanning his 50-year career and incorporating a rich and varied range of material, this anthology is as wonderfully unmissable as the first. When Spike Milligan died in 2002, he left behind a diverse legacy in British entertainment -- as well as a legion of devoted fans and admirers. His themes ranged from environmental issues to the war, from nostalgia to depression, and his prolific output covers some of the most evocative events of the twentieth century, in a style both twistedly comic and harrowingly honest. The success of the Spike Milligan anthology, The Essential Spike Milligan, has inspired a second look at his brilliant work. Milligan was arguably one of the most prolific and mold-breaking comic writers of the twentieth century and this second anthology provides another opportunity to sample his finest writing. It includes more from his war memoirs and novel Puckoon, his children's stories, poetry, drawings, and a collection of his correspondence from the 1960s onwards with various recipients, including the House of Commons, the BBC, Private Eye, and British Telecom.
