Product Description
Published in 1973 by Fontana Books (William Collins), this 189 page paperback, ISBN 0006130941, brings together several of his reminiscences: In Corfu, Mother is given a calamitous birthday party which starts with the hi-jacking of the ice box and ends with the entire gathering marooned on a remote and deserted beach. Mamfe, the night the punka fell on the District Commissioner, unleashing the deadliest snake in Africa on the dinner table. Bournemouth, and the ravishing Ursula, the Mrs Malaprop of the South Coast, bombards her gracious surroundings with outsize social gaffes. Contents: 1. The Birth of a Title; 2. The Birthday Party; 3. A Transport of Terrapins; 4. A Question of Promotion; 5. A Question of Degrees; 6. Ursula
