Review by an Animal Aid supporter:

This is a hilarious collection of spoof letters to the famous and not so famous people and institutions, by the marvellously eccentric Mr and Mrs Morello of Ealing, and from their extended family and menagerie of animals.

Among the dozens of splendidly entertaining missives are enquiries to Sir Cliff Richard about naked rambling; to Lord George (Archbishop) Carey on recommending a good electrician; to Blackpool Tourist Board on losing a flip flop on the beach some weeks before; to John Prescott, asking if he would mind having a bull-terrier puppy named in his honour; and to Selfridges, with a request that Mrs Morello be permitted to visit the store with Enoch the Goat to test out a new mattress.

Equally delightful are the responses – especially when they are in keeping with the requests. Notable examples are those from newsreader Jon Snow, regarding being fed through the television screen; and from Barking and Dagenham Planning Department on the requirements for installing a ‘Summer Holiday’ Routemaster bus in their roof. The volume is a truly delightful collection of laugh-out-loud letters, written by a masterful comic imagination, full of wonderful malapropisms and absurdist situations. They will provide as much entertainment for the reader as I’m sure they did for the correspondents.
