Overview

Every Christmas, unwanted round robin letters, stuffed with news of young Chloe's nauseating excellence at - well - everything, the announcement of Janet's cousin's husband's friend's divorce, or the details of Terry's colonoscopy, accumulate on doormats. One day, Simon Hoggart decided to do something about it. He mercilessly presented the most eye-popping examples of such letters in his bestseller, The Cat that Could Open the Fridge, and followed it up with The Hamster that Loved Puccini, hoping he had put a stop to them. And yet the letters, booklets and photo-montages kept on coming. So here, to drive home his message, The Round Robin Letters brings together his two collections in an anthology that will have everyone choking with laughter on their Christmas pudding.

With Hoggart's wicked commentary, the dullest imaginable gobbets of useless information are transformed into gems of hilarity. --Christopher Matthew, Daily Mail Wonderfully, horribly funny. --Martin Rowson, Independent on Sunday The funniest book of last year was The Cat That Could Open the Fridge, and I thought it would be impossible to better it. But his new assault on round robins, The Hamster That Loved Puccini, is even funnier... I could hardly hold the pen through paroxysms of cachinnation, or focus on the page through tears of mirth. --Bevis Hillier, Spectator
