Artist and author Steve Palin has loved making puns since he was a boy. Whether they make you laugh at the wit or groan at the concept, this book also combines his other passions of wildlife and art.

After much aardvark and effort, he has created in this playful collection over 50 illustrated animal puns, with dozens of additional plays on words which he has collected over the years.

Pundemonium follows in the genre of Palin’s bestselling little gift book, A Murmuration of Starlings, his Box of Frogs (idioms) and The Anniversary Book (illustrations of the correct gifts of love for each pasing year).

It is a book to make you smile and to enjoy wildlife art, from dawn ’til ducks. And it’s sheep and cheerful too.
