5.0 out of 5 stars Trevor at his Funniest, April 4, 2000

This review is from: The Boarding-House (Paperback)

Recently reissued after being impossible to find for years, this early Trevor comedy is one of his funniest. If you are a fan of Tevor's later things and haven't read it, you have a real treat in store.
