What's in a name? A few vowels and some consonants - or a whole new identity just waiting to burst free? In 'My Gonads Roar', expert wordsmith Richard Napier rearranges hundreds of famous names to create a parallel universe - like the world we know, but funnier, ruder, and much more vitriolic. It's a place where Jeremy Clarkson ('Only Cars Jerk Me'), Britney Spears ('Best PR in Years'), Gordon Ramsay ('My Gonads Roar') and even Princess Anne ('Nice Spanners') appear as you have never seen them before. (Sorry, Princess Anne...).

Anagrams have been around for thousands of years. Since Adam and Eve first realised that repents is an anagram of serpent people have been fascinated by the little ironies that occur when you play with the order of a word's letters. Pythagoras and Plato were both said to have been big anagram fans. This book takes you into the world of Anagrams.
