Laughterpedia of Fun Plus is a compendium of jokes compiled during lockdown, with the assistance of Ellie J., a young artist. Her picture gallery is presented with apologies to Picasso and others as some of their ideas have been re-used.

The book is a collection of adapted humour inspired by other writers, interspersed with some original texts and a handful of philosophical views, mostly wrapped in humour. The texts include oblique references to adult obsessions and mild vernacular language in common usage by many aged 12 years and over. It is a joke book from cover to cover, most of which is unsuitable for younger children and anyone who cannot read without moving their lips.
