I thought this was an amusing collection of sardonic greeting cards— and I was right!

It's interesting and fun, but a bit silly.

I love Edward Monkton's work so was thrilled the year my mum gave me a copy of this for Christmas! It's such a fun and sometimes strangely moving read that I still look at from time to time. I'd highly recommend Edward Monkton to everyone!

This is a very short book - almost like a picture book and did not take very long to read. The illustrations and quirky musings of text are intriguing and may prompt some thought. The author is someone of note in the UK who has developed a bit of a following http://www.edwardmonkton.com/
