Reviews

Praise for the Wentworth Papers:

‘A splendid comic hero … cannot fail to engage the sympathy of everyone who has ever sat in a classroom either as master or pupil … Few books have made me laugh out loud quite so often’ 

Evening Standard

‘I was often helpless with laughter. Not a book to be read in public’ 

The Oldie

‘A truly comic invention’ 

The Guardian

‘Masterly caricature’ 

Times Literary Supplement

‘Wentworth turns out to be the hero of a work certain to be pigeon-holed as a minor classic by which people usually mean a classic more readable than the major kind … a man Mr Pooter would regard with awe but nevertheless recognise as a brother’ 

Spectator

‘A book of such hilarious nature that I had to give up reading it in public’ 

New Statesman

‘One of the funniest books ever’ 

Sunday Express
