| Cited by Nigella Lawson as one of her Sunday Times books of the year, can this compendium of improbable recipes and literary excerpts possibly be the rotten stinker its authors' names suggest? Here are recipes from the dark side of culinary art - Mock Hedgehog, Mephistophelian Sauce (for turkey remains), The Tarporley Hunt Black Pudding or Edward Lear's Crumbobblious Cutlets - served up with anecdotes of food fetishists and readings from the likes of de Sade and Huysmans. Felt-tip mark on upper trimmed edge. | ||||

| The affected provincial - 'a sleepless autodidact who lurks on the periphery, dabbling in this and that' - is a creature in need of artistic and intellectual nourishment. Volume I of Whimsy's ironic odyssey through life's little trials provides the 'gentle reader' with just that, covering topics including 'A Natural History of the Peculiar', 'On the Perils of Sportswear' and 'How to Become a Folktale'. | ||||
