Jeremy Morphis | 17 comments The book went through the alphabet either forwards or backwards with different fun, weird topics. It is NOT the "Z to A with much confusion in between" book. I remember something about a shark in a bathtub, a living hamburger (maybe) and various other poems or amusing stories. I know that's not a lot to go on, but Google has let me down. I've looked on eBay and Amazon as well but can't find it. I read it in the mid 1980's

I am about 90% sure you are right. Thank you so much!

These are good guesses, but I really think Ayshe found it. Thank you!

I haven't seen a cover image for Total Nonsense Z To A (1981) by Gyles Brandreth (middle name Daubeney). The illustrator is Lucy Robinson, publisher is Sterling Publishing. Lucy also illustrated his A Game-A-Day Book.

Perhaps contact the author on his website. https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...


Jeremy Morphis | 17 comments I am so confident that's the book, I ordered it. I'll be able to confirm in a few days. :)


Jeremy Morphis | 17 comments This is definitely the book! Thank you so much! Kris, you solved the mystery!
