Garry Starr: Classic Penguins
Garry Starr is back and he’s hell-bent on saving books from extinction.
Literature! Literature! Literature! It might not rhyme with anything but it's still very important. Garry Starr is back and he's hell-bent on saving books from extinction by performing every Penguin Classic novel ever written. Mostly naked (but with flippers). Comic wunderkind Starr takes us on a literary adventure through the world's most iconic works of fiction.
From The Little Prince to Moby Dick and everything in between, nothing is safe from being lampooned with the utmost nincompoopery. 'A very funny man who is peculiarly averse to wearing trousers' ***** (Scotsman).
