"A Spaniard in the Works" is a book from 1965 by John Lennon. The book consists of nonsensical stories and drawings similar to the style of his previous book, 1964's "In His Own Write".The name refers to a pun on the term "A spanner in the works" (analogous to the American English expression, "throw a monkey wrench" [into someone's plans] , a spanner being British English for wrench) , another fragment of Lennon's humour.The Swedish publishing house Bakhåll published in 1997 the book in an English & Swedish edition, together with a CD containing tracks with never before released Lennon pieces and interviews.
