Category: Humour

Heartfelt and hilarious, this is a book for anyone who has tried to imagine what their dog was thinking. Human beings often write about their dogs, but the dogs don't usually get a right of reply.  In Love, Clancy, Richard Glover has collated the letters sent by Clancy to his parents in the bush. They a re full of a young dog's musings about the oddities of human behaviour, life in the big city, and his own attempts to fit in. You'll meet Clancy as a puppy, making his first attempt to train his humans, then see him grow into a mature activist, demanding more attention be paid to a dog's view of the world. Along the way, there are adventures aplenty, involving robotic vacuum cleaners, songs about cheese, trips to the country and stolen legs of ham - all told with a dog's deep wisdom when it comes to what's important in life. With delightful illustrations by cartoonist Cathy Wilcox. PRAISE FOR RICHARD GLOVER The Land Before Avocado 'This is vintage Glover - warm, wise and very, very funny.

Letter from Kalangadoo - The Roly Parks Collection by Bryan Dawe

$24.99 AUD

Available Stock:

Category: Humour

Roly Parks lives in Kalangadoo, a small in the South East of South Australia. Each week Roly writes a letter to his son, Gene, who lives in London with his partner, Ahmed, a Moroccan ballet dancer, formerly with the Royal Ballet. Roly's letters have been broadcast nationally on ABC radio for over twenty five years. Roly's letters range from his ongoing marriage counselling encounters with his wife of fifty years, Sonya, his run-ins with the town gossip Beryl Coates and Mrs Phipps, the letter-opening post-mistress and assortment of other characters like the 'Whingeing' Jack Smillett, 'Sick' Alf and Roly's annoying elderly doctor. We hear of his hilarious attempts with his old mates to scatter the ashes of his best mate 'Bull' Devine in the river at Port Adelaide, Roly's futile effort to placate the ghost of the late Dot Mathieson and how he copes with a new courtship to his closest friend Milton's crime-writing sister, Margaret. The Letters are ironic, humorous and deeply touching. This is Australian story telling at its finest from Bryan Dawe, one of Australia's most acclaimed satirists. ...Show more

Those Annoying Christmas Letters and Other Writings by Garth Paltridge

$19.99 AUD

Available Stock:
2

Category: Humour

From the author of THE CLIMATE CAPER, Garth Paltridge brings us his latest quick-witted composition. A goodly fraction of the Christmas cards my wife and I receive each year come with an attached circular letter. They make me so jealous. Invariably they tell of interesting overseas trips, of job promoti ons beyond the dreams of avarice, of relatives who have done marvellous things, and of great and weighty problems successfully overcome. Generally they speak of happy and interesting lifestyles beyond anything I could ever hope to lie about with any chance of success. Add to which, some of them are impossibly long and detailed.To be fair, one has to admit that a circular letter is a handy device for dodging the writing of personal notes on each Christmas card. So a couple of decades ago we (essentially the royal 'we' here because a certain Kay Paltridge had a lot of impertinent comment to make both at the time and since) hit upon a cunning plan. We would reluctantly adopt the modern practice of composing circular letters to go with our Christmas cards, but would ensure that they contained no personal information whatsoever, or indeed anything at all of any real substance.That'd show'em! Mind you, I'm not quite sure what we thought it would show'em, but it must have seemed significant back then.Examples of the output of the policy are presented herein.The idea of putting them together came from a number of the recipients, who no doubt believe that it is about time others could see the drivel they have had to put up with over the years, and who will get a kick out of seeing the author of the drivel making a public fool of himself. ...Show more

Weirdly Beloved by CEILAN Cynthia

Category: Humour

Inspired by the romantic misadventures she's witnessed in her own family, Cynthia Ceilan takes us jauntily through real-life stories about love: what demented things we do in the name of love, the wildly unusual choices people have made in their selection of a mate, and the joys and horrors of saying go odbye to a relationship that has long overstayed its welcome. In her fact-finding mission to write this collection, Ceilan began in the bowels of her own family history, which always seemed shrouded in mystery. She then extended her research to include a broader community - her neighbourhood, city, country, planet. Each chapter introduces the general topic in a concise, personal essay, followed by dozens of short tales, as reported in newspapers and magazines from around the world, including numerous firsthand accounts. ...Show more
