A thought-provoking mixture of silliness and sorrow. (

A collection of both serious and amusing poems / rhymes by Milligan. This includes the famous "manic depression" poem which he wrote from hospital in 1953 or 1954 (he couldn't remember the exact date). The poems / rhymes are accompanied by illustrations by Spike and also by his daughter Laura. (
