Punch

‘Quite delightful … with an atmosphere of quiet contentment and humour that cannot fail to charm

’ Daily Telegraph

‘A swift-moving novel, joyous, happy and incurably optimistic’

Evening Standard

About the author

Victor Canning

Victor Canning was a prolific writer throughout his career, which began young: he had sold several short stories by the age of nineteen and his first novel, Mr Finchley Discovers His England (1934) was published when he was twenty-three. It proved to be a runaway bestseller. Canning also wrote for children: his trilogy The Runaways was adapted for US children’s television. Canning’s later thrillers were darker and more complex than his earlier work and received further critical acclaim.
