Description
A humorous tale of country life and eccentric characters. Pop Larkin, a junk-dealer with a penchant for Dragon's Blood, sells his crumbling home to city dwellers Mr and Mrs Jereboam, but their acceptance of rural ways is short-lived. As Pop navigates the challenges of country living, he finds himself in unexpected situations, including a run-in with the law. The story follows Pop Larkin as he tries to balance his family life with the quirks of his new neighbours. With its lighthearted tone and humorous characters, this novel is a charming portrayal of rural England in the mid-20th century. Written by H.E. Bates, this book offers a witty and engaging read for fans of humorous fiction.
