This is an anthology of prank letters written to a wide-range of organisations in the hope of sparking a reaction. It's very funny and you have to admire Robin Cooper's absurdist flights of fancy (especially his plotlines for highly unsuitable children's stories) but it also makes you squirm when putting yourself in the place of company representatives struggling to be polite to an obvious fruitcake. I was more impressed at their restraint than his provocation!
