Is it written in slang English? I mean, can amateur-English-readers get the clues?

He plays a lot on spelling. If you can understand the sound of the words it makes sense in a nonsense sort of way. lol

Heres an example....

Snore Wife and Some Several Dwarts

Once upon upon in a dizney far away - say three hundred year agoal if you like-there lived in a sneaky forest some several dwarts or cretins; all named - Sleezy, Grumpty, Sneeky, Dog, Smirkey, Alice? Derick - and Wimpey. Anyway they all dug about in a diamond mind, which was rich beyond compere. Every day when they came hulme from wirk, they would sing a song - just like ordinary wirkers - the song went something like - 'Yo, ho! Yo, ho! it's off to wirk we go!' - which is silly really considerable they were comeing hulme. (Perhaps ther was slight housework to be do.)
One day howitzer they (Dwarts) arrived home, at aprodestant six o'cloth, and who? - who do they find? - but only Snore Wife, asleep in Grumpty's bed. He didn't seem to mine. 'Sambody's been feeding my porrage!' screams Wimpey, who was wearing a light blue pullover. Meanwife in a grand Carstle, not so a mile away, a womand is looging in her daily mirror shouting, 'Mirror mirror on the wall, whom is de fairy in the land.' which doesn't even rhyme. 'Cassandle!' answers the mirror. 'Chirsh O'Malley' studders the womand who appears to be a Queen or a witch or an acorn.

I see. Copyright Johnny. Thanks for the example! I guess for me it's more a thing to have rather than to read. It think it's funny, but I think I get only half of the spelling-jokes. Maybe that's enough.

his books are intelligent nonsense books.
it's best to clinck out your brain and just read it, letting the words flow.

sort of like a joking joyce.
