Simon Drew would like to be considered a very wise man.His evidence is that "wise men drink wine" and nobody could be more dedicated to prolonging this state of (dis)graceful wisdom than Simon.He is certain that wine is an excellent aid to inspiration for his word plays,puzzles and drawings.For Simon,"less is never more.More is always more.Less is always less.This is more or less true." Such wisdom comes to him after several glases of wine ( - more or less). Simon has produced this book with due reverence to all viticulturists,vintners,publicans,restauranteurs, bon viveurs and to the god Bacchus and hopes to demonstrate that the way of the wise man is the path through the vineyard.He is fond of quoting a saying oft repeated by his grandmother (a reformed Methodist and born-again drinker): "I have no pain now,mother dear,but - oh I am so dry!

Past books in this popular series have examined subjects as varied as music,cats, art,birds and animals which have each,in their turn,been subjected to that special Simon Drew 'treatment'.With its echoes of Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear,Drew's work invites the reader to suspend disbelief and join him in a bizarre world where nothing is quite what it seems and just about anything is possible.See also rja1994, rja920, rja463113 and rja463213.Others in series include:'A Book of Bestial Nonsense', 'Nonsense in Flight', 'Still Warthogs Run Deep', 'The Puffin's Advice' [rja920], 'Cat with Piano Tuna', 'Camp David: Nonsense in Art' [rja31368 and rja463213] and 'Handel's Warthog Music'.

The world is in peril.Terrorists are on the rise and are everywhere,but nowhere to be found.This is the story of one particular detective-cum- spy of special prowess as he tracks down his enemy.He is dogged and resolved in his mission.He is persistent.He is cunning.He is undaunted. . . and yet he appears rather sheepish.Through daily musings in his journal,we follow Shepherd Spy's very scenic train of thought as he gradually arrives at his final solution of how to rid the world of its blight of terror.The answer is obvious: chess and conversation.While hunting the evil One,the Shepherd Spy also leaves a trail of clues and puzzles for the reader to investigate.
