Review
"Splendidly funny, laced with caustic wit" -- Toronto Globe & Mail
"Barnard, whose inventiveness never ceases to amaze is a delight as he dissects the British class system... this is one of his best" -- Washington Post
"Flawless" -- Newsweek --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
Product Description
A man's home is his castle, but for Percy Spender ("call me perce") that motto has been taken just a bit too literally. After the sudden death of first one distant relative and then another, the amiable Perce has become the 12th Earl of Ellesmere. And his home, no longer a cozy council flat, is now the drafty, imposing Chetton Hall, complete with more bedrooms than Perce can count and an army of servants. Frankly, all these fancy-pants trappings make Perce itch. He'd just as soon sell up, buy a comfy cottage, and put a bundle on the ponies. However, some of his mates and family members have other ideas. And the sad fact is that an Unfortunate Accident can happen to anyone, even a lord of the realm. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
