No one is safe from the ever curious Mr Morello who needs British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Arsenal Football Club and The School of Taxidermy to explain to him the mysteries of British life.
Armed with an endless list of quandaries to resolve, the bewildered Italian immigrant living in a London suburb badgers The Chief Druid, The Guild of Professional English Butlers and The Old English Goat Society.
The result is The Morello Letters: Pen Pal to the Stars, a riotous collection of spoof missives to the great and good penned by London lawyer Duncan McNair who invented Morello — but still has not given him a first name.
”I did get some very funny replies. Now I cannot stop writing them. It is a bit compulsive,” he confessed in an interview to mark the book’s publication next month.
McNair, who first wrote the letters to amuse his nephews and nieces, said: ”They seem to have appealed vastly beyond my expectations. I had great fun doing them.” – Reuters
