Alan Stoob: Nazi Hunter

Alan Stoob is a creation of comic genius. - Jon Ronson

Alan Stoob is the Nazi-Hunter de nos jours. If you haven’t seen any Nazis on the streets of Dunstable latterly it is entirely down to his tireless efforts. - Charlie Higson

Alan Stoob is the funniest and most effective Bedfordshire-based Nazi Hunter I’ve come across. - Stephen Mangan

Alan Stoob is to Nazis what Inspector Clouseau is to jewel thieves. He’s a marvellous comic creation, and deserves his own series of movies.

Alan Stoob and its hero are laugh-out-loud funny… the human story at the heart of the diaries charting Alan’s failing marriage and his relationship with his depressed fortysomething son is tragically comic amid the increasingly surreal plot. - The Times

There are joyous moments of surrealism and some of the silliest names for baddies ever invented. This book contains the word ‘owly’ which brought happiness. Strong female characters admonish yet ultimately encourage Stoob. In a favourite scene Edame comes to his rescue toting a pistol, andmy laughing startled the dog several times. A comic hero of advanced years, Wordsworth’s creation is a rarity - a sort of elderly Bridget Jones, with bunions. - Standard Issue Magazine

A page-turner of the highest order.

Saul was born in London at some point during the 1970s. Saul’s early years were noteworthy for his ability to run fast, an obsessive interest in cricket and the early signs of the chronic snoring that was to dog his later years.

At university he acquired a reputation for being half-Jewish, and a penchant for donner meat with chips extra chilli sauce please. After uni he moved to Brighton to busk for a living, much to the almighty chagrin of his father.

Since then Saul has spent an impressive amount of his adult life in gainful employment, and an equally impressive amount in the bath. He has been a freelance journalist since 2005 which means more time for baths again.

Recently he has written features for the Guardian, sketches for the BBC and regular columns for Metro, Square Mile and the Ham & High.
