A Spaniard in the Works by John Lennon is celebrated for its whimsical and zany style, reminiscent of Edward Lear's nonsense, yet distinctly Lennon in its creativity. The book's unique humour, combined with grotesque and spidery illustrations, provides an entertaining and laughter-inducing experience for readers. The art is particularly noted for its marvellous charm.

About the Author

John Lennon is one of the most iconic figures of the twentieth century, a musician, singer and songwriter of extraordinary popularity and influence who was tragically murdered in December 1980. Whilst the Beatles, the band with which he is most associated, only existed for eight years they transformed the face and sound of the Sixties and their body of work is the most listened to and covered in the history of popular music.
