Hugh Burnett is renowned for his religious humour books, mostly about monks. There were six books published (confirmed by the author himself who contacted me the other day to point out that he's still amongst the living and that I should have said 'is' renowned not 'was' renowned - thanks Hugh - good to hear you're still out there), all published by Merlin Press Books, first in hardback edition, then later in paperback.

Below is a gallery of Hugh Burnett's books in my collection.

The book above was issued as 'by Phelix'. I asked Hugh Burnett why this was... his reply : "Top Sacred was the first book I did, published under the name 'Phelix', because at that time I was drawing for the New Statesman, whilst working at the BBC."
