Paul Jennings (British Author)
Paul Francis Jennings (20 June 1918 - 26 December 1989) was a British humourist. He mostly wrote short articles; his most famous collection is The Jenguin Pennings, published in 1963 by Penguin books (hence the Spoonerism of the title).
Although he wrote a small number of books for children, Jennings should not be confused with Paul Jennings, an Australian children's writer.
Jennings lived for much of his life in East Bergholt, Suffolk, England, UK, with his wife, Celia and their six children.
