Book Review of The Next to Last Cuckoo

The Next to Last Cuckoo
johntheeditor avatar reviewed on


A fine collection of letters to the editor of the London Times from 1900 to 1985. The letters column of the Times was a great outlet for eccentrics, cranks, and wags of all stripes, and they're all represented here.

20 March 1976

Sir,

I remember being told by a clergyman that when in India a parishioner wrote to him as 'Reverend and Bombastic Sir.'

Yours faithfully,
Peter Faulks
