Goblinproofing One's Chicken Coop has been named as the winner of Diagram
Prize for Oddest Book Title of the Year.
The title won 38% of the public vote, fighting off competition from fellow
contenders /How Tea Cosies Changed the World /and
God's Doodle: The Life and
Times of the Penis.
Horace Bent,
The Bookseller's diarist and custodian of the prize, said: "In
Goblinproofing One's Chicken Coop the public have chosen a hugely important
work regarding the best way to protect one's fowl from the fairy realm's most
bothersome creatures. Everyone knows well the hazards cats, dogs and foxes hold
for owners of chickens, not to mention red mite, but the public has recognised
the need to illuminate this hitherto under-reported nuisance."
