The wine sold well in Scarfolk, simply by virtue of being British, as did a spin-off ‘soft-toy’ monkey, which wasn’t actually a soft-toy at all, but a real dead monkey. Telephone helplines were set up to provide legal aid to the many who were accused of talking (and not talking) and faced punitive tongue removal.The tone of the book swiftly veers from straight parody to the darker, apocalyptic tinge that pervades the entirety of Scarfolk.

Discovering Scarfolk | Richard Littler

He lived in Radcliffe near Bury until 1976 (when he was six) whereupon his family moved to Timperley, a small suburb south of Manchester.

It was so keen to prove the scientific superiority of British products that large-scale experiments were commissioned.This is neatly summed up with “History Facts: When Britain Was Part of Europe,” which states that the Britons dug out the English channel to separate themselves, only to discover after celebrating that they were now an isolated island with very little food and no water. Littler has a terrific eye for replicating those 70s design styles in a palette of colours that look just right for the time but aged as if they have lasted. Things like Parker's Cars where the esteemed chauffeur from Gerry Anderson’s Thunderbirds tells you about the “best bloomin' motors,” or those Ladybird books which look and feel exactly like the volumes we grew up with, only have titles such as The Ladybird Guide to the Midlife Crisis and such. The Scarfolk created by Littler is a queasy, unsettling provincial place – aspects of which will be familiar to many British 40-somethings. A shortish read, but I doubt you'll be able to resist sending at least one of the many posters to someone you know!
