Puckoon, Spike Milligan's first novel bursts at the seams with superb
comic characters involved in unbelievably likely troubles on the Irish
border. It's 1924 and the Boundary Commission is deciding on the new
line between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic. With much pushing
and shoving, the border finds it's way down the middle of Puckoon,
dividing house from outhouse, man from wife, and pub chairs from bars.
