Review
'This is a book to dip into, linger over, laugh about, weep about, read during staff meetings or hide behind they hymn book in assembly. Ted Wragg is a master at recognizing that the emperor has no clothes. With so many emperors and so few clothes, long may he continue.'
Education, March 1996
'Thank God for Ted Wragg. His humour is a tonic and an inspiration: the sort that has you gnashing your teeth with rage one minute and clutching your sides with laughter the next.'
Rory Bremner
'...compulsory reading for Secretaries of State - even those with learning difficulties would benefit.'
Neil Kinnock
