A Spaniard in the Works

About “A Spaniard in the Works”

A Spaniard in the Works is a collection of nonsensical stories and drawings by John Lennon, published on 24 June 1965. It follows the style of his earlier book In His Own Write, also from 1964. The title plays on the phrase "a spanner in the works," using "spaniard" as a pun. The book contains humorous and absurd content, typical of Lennon's literary work during this period. It was released as a short story collection and reflects his creative style outside of his music. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
