  One on One: 101 True Encounters by Craig Brown

  Price: £8.99    Add to Basket

  One of the greatest living parodists, Brown has created a delightful daisy-chain of chance encounters between well-known figures, connecting everyone from Rasputin to Rudyard Kipling. Whilst frequently hilarious and wonderfully absurd, this is primarily a work of straight non-fiction, characterised by dry wit and restraint. Rich and hugely enjoyable.

  The Lost Diaries by Craig Brown

  Price: £9.99    Add to Basket

  Brown, a long-standing writer for Private Eye, has created the ideal bedside book - a calendar of imaginary diary entries from the great and the good. From V. S. Naipaul to Jeremy Clarkson, from Sylvia Plath to Barbara Cartland, the entries are funny, insightful and endlessly entertaining.
