Etat : Very Good. 1978. First Edition. Hardcover. Hodder & Stoughton, 1978, 1st edn. with dust cover, in near-mint condition, slight tear at top of front board; green cloth in mint condition; 224pp; When sophisticates tire of the urban round and yearn for the simple life, beware! This charming, inventive and often hilarious novel, in which lurid accidents puncture the sunny surface and each character represents, perhaps, more than meets the eye, recounts the adventures of one such group of escapees. They consist of three families, collectively known as 'the Fizsticks'. There is architect Adam Capstick and his wife, the queenly Minette, a gynaecologist famed for her deft caesarians; Francis and Naomi Fazackerley, he shy and stammering, she sensuous and ever-fertile; and in support, the coarser Tregears, parents of terrible twins. Accompanied by their children and by troubled but comely Gemma (for new young blood must be recruited, argues Minette), these prosperous, middle-class, middle-aged liberals find their Eden in a rambling mansion and its grounds still only a manageable train-journey from London. And there, in the long hot summer of '76, and in the Jubilee year which follows, lust thrives, problems multiply, and the framework of the Fizsticks' group is shattered, never to re-form. Janice Elliott has written nothing more enchanting and luminous than this tale of a daydream incautiously realised, and of its touching, unlooked-for results. 8¾x5¾". . . . . .
