Something fun- Diagram's winner for the oddest book title of the year: Goblinproofing One's Chicken Coop. Yes, and we all know how important it is to goblinproof one's chicken coop.
Philip Stone, The Bookseller charts editor and
Diagram Prize administrator, said: "People might think the Diagram Prize
is just a bit of fun, but it spotlights an undervalued art that can make or
break a work of literature. Books such as A Short History of Tractors in
Ukrainian, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and The
Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time all owe a sizeable part of
their huge successes to their odd monikers."
