Every year will see one po-faced carol converted line-by-line into festive silliness, filth and fun, the kind of bawdy humour that puts the bang into a Christmas cracker.

Imagine them as seasonal alternatives to Roald Dahl's brilliantly iconoclastic Revolting Rhymes; each packaged as small, full-colour hardbacks and each designed to tweak the noses of those who take their Christmases far too seriously.

Carol Carnage by Martin Rowson promises to deliver this delightful mischief to your holiday celebrations.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Martin Rowson is in his smutty, inky element, delivering laughter through simple pleasures like shepherds washing socks by night. Celebrated by Phill Jupitus as a must-have and praised by Will Self, Ralph Steadman, Owen Jones, and Mark Thomas, Rowson's work shines with comic genius and stands out as some of the best British cartooning today.
