Leavis Carroll – Alice in Brexitland

This is basically a Brexit/Trump themed parody of Alice in Wonderland, right down to Lewis Carroll’s famous nonsense poetry. It’s interesting because it managed to take something pretty depressing and to make it all a lot of fun, and seeing Nigel Farage as a Cheshire cat was particularly amusing.

Because it takes on Trump as well, there’s also plenty here for American readers too. It’s satirical and still relevant, though only just. If you want to read it, read it now.

Bruno Vincent – Enid Blyton: Five On Brexit Island

This book was a lot of fun, although I’ll also concede that if you’re new to Enid Blyton or if you’re unfamiliar with the political landscape and the conversations that centred around Brexit then it’s not going to make much sense to you. It’s a parody and that’s important to remember, but if you bear that in mind and you still like the sound of it then you’re going to love it. Plus it parodies both sides of the debate.
