Swell Foop is a fantasy novel by British-American writer Piers Anthony, the twenty-fifth book of the Xanth series.[1]
The title is taken from a spoonerism for the Shakespearean phrase "one fell swoop," famously (but not first)[2] spoken by the tongue-twisted Peter Sellers character in the 1964 movie The Pink Panther.
