Synopsis
Spike Milligan's hilarious novel centres round the unfortunate town of Puckoon. Through incompetence, dereliction of duty and sheer perversity, the border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic ends up running right through the middle of the town: husbands are separated for their wives, bars cut off from their patrons - chaos abounds. Our sixtieth anniversary edition has a stylish binding and is limited to 2,000 copies.
