Slightly off the wall, if not off topic. This book contains a chapter written in rhyming slang. Do members know of any other such books? Here's an example:
What are Gypsy weddings like?
“Blinding. You arrange it with the hammers and saws, how many Bo Peep you will slaughter, whether there’ll be an ox or a Chairman Mao, how much money you will spend, etc. My nephew recently married off his daughter in Zrenjanin. He got DM 10,000 for her. He got five Irish jigs, and he slaughtered an ox. The hale and hearty was held in a pub. They invited the guests on the dog and bone.”
What else?
“You have to give something, everyone does. Some people give a monkey, some a Franz Ferdinand, whatever they can afford. Now my nephew’s fallen ill and they say he’ll die. He’s from where Paci lives, from Elemir. His house is as big as the council, he’s very rich, him and his two sons. They’re bells of Shoreditch. It’s almost a month since their wedding. It was a famous wedding, guests came from all over the Balkans in caravans, John Waynes and jam jars, just to see it. It was really lovely and proper. There was no fighting, no Barney Rubble.”
