For the last twenty years Miles Kington has written a humorous column in which everything has been made up and nothing can be trusted. Now he has written an autobiography by those same exacting standards. Was his father a German spy? Did his mother insist on permission from the Vatican before dancing on Sundays? Was baby Miles the victim of pram napping and can he really claim credit as co-creator of the anti-squirrel device? Who cares when a book is as brilliantly entertaining as this one?
