Why not have a go at our latest Monthly Prize Puzzle?  The winner will receive a copy of Mick Twister’s There Was an Old Geezer Called Caesar: A History of the World in 100 Limericks kindly donated by Tilsit.  It is hoped that this copy will be signed by the author, subject to his attendance at the London Cruciverbalist Convention later this month.
