Book Review: Run John Run by Keith Joslin

Many people read the Janet and John books while learning to read in school. They are innocent wee books but then Sir Terry Wogan brought them to life on his BBC2 radio show and made them a bit more risqué as well as extremely funny – he often couldn’t finish telling the story because he was laughing so hard!

All this was made possible by Keith Joslin’s rewrites of the stories. And this book, Run John Run, is a collection of these stories and they are just as funny in print as they were on the Radio.

It is hard to read these stories without think of Sir Terry and his dulcet tones. If you want a laugh I do recommend reading this book as well as going onto youtube and listening to Sir Terry read them!
