About this ebook

"I'm in love with a man from Dundee Though he lived 100 years or so before me He was a poet He was aware of this"

A tragic comedy, McGonagall's Chronicles charts the true life story of the worst poet of all time: William McGonagall.

With wit, candour and warmth, Gary McNair tries to understand how McGonagall could be so bad at what he did, and gets to the heart of the dilemma that surrounds his legend – is it okay for us to laugh at someone's obvious and relentless failings?
