Spike Milligan’s Unspun Socks from a Chicken’s Laundry spins pure nonsense into bedtime gold, pairing cheeky rhymes with lively drawings that tickle ages nine to ninety. This first-edition hardcover from 1981 keeps every page bright, clean, and free of scribbles or creases.

The pictorial dust jacket shows only light shelf scuffing; beneath it, sturdy boards and crisp, unmarked pages preserve the anarchic charm that made Milligan a household name in children’s verse. Collectors cherish the debut printing, while young readers giggle at chickens, socks, and other ridiculous heroes.

A smoke-free home has kept this vintage picture book fresh, ready to slip onto a nursery shelf or into a Spike Milligan collection. No inscriptions, ex-libris stamps, or dog-eared corners—just classic comedic poetry waiting for its next laugh.
