Synopsis

What if poetry could make you laugh out loud… and think twice about the world we live in?

Too Many Cooks Have a Silver Lining is a brilliantly quirky, humorous poetry collection that turns everyday life into something delightfully absurd, sharply observant, and unexpectedly profound.

From talking money and flamingo balance tests to vampire doctors, moonlit tea parties, and modern life gone slightly mad, Dick Dixon’s poems capture the strange, comic brilliance of being human in a world that often makes very little sense.

Each poem is brought vividly to life with full-colour illustrations by Reine Mazoyer, creating a unique reading experience that blends literary wit, visual storytelling, and playful imagination.

Why readers love this book:

Funny, intelligent poetry with a distinctive British voice
Perfect balance of humour, satire, and reflection
Beautifully illustrated throughout — ideal for dipping in and out
A refreshing alternative to traditional poetry collections

Perfect for:

• Readers who enjoy Brian Bilston, Pam Ayres, or Spike Milligan
• Fans of lighthearted, witty, and offbeat humour
• Anyone looking for a unique and memorable gift book
• Coffee table readers and lovers of short, entertaining reads

Whether you’re reading a single poem over a cup of tea or losing yourself in its wonderfully eccentric world, this collection offers a silver lining of humour, imagination, and insight in every page.

Includes French translation too
