Long-term readers of Gruts might remember my occasional references to Mr Frank Key's implausibly eccentric website, Hooting Yard.
If so, they might be interested to learn that Mr Key has a new book out, entitled Mr Key's Shorter Potted Brief, Brief Lives.
I review it here.
An ideal stocking-filler.
A well-read friend would dismiss this as a 'toilet read', but I was immediately reminded of Schott's Almanac, an enjoyable stocking-filler for many years.

Yes, I was reminded of that too. I have a copy somewhere.
