Présentation de l'éditeur
'Teetotal!' Ma said. 'It's a libel. He'll never live it down. He'll never be able to hold his head up again. Whatever will people think? What's he going to say when anybody asks him to have one?'' "No," ' said Dr Conner.'You'll have to strap him down,' Ma said. 'You'll have to put the handcuffs on.'And so after a mild heart-attack - caused by rather too much of what you fancy - Pop Larkin finds himself off the booze, off the good food and off the good life generally, much to his own and everyone's else's horror and upset. And while Ma tries to find ways around 'doctor's orders', young Primrose is finding her own way round a rather flustered - not to say flushed - Mr Candy .

Hardcover. Etat : Good. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. For those still unacquainted with the doings of the Larkin family as already expressed in four novels, THE DARLING BUDS OF MAY, A BREATH OF FRENCH AIR, WHEN THE GREEN WOODS LAUGH and o! TO BE IN ENGLAND, it may simply be said that they are in the richest vein of English comedy, the tradition of Chaucer, and Fielding. Now the uninhibited bucolic lives of this family of rural no-tax junk-dealers, defiant alike of conventions and the Welfare State, yet warm in their love of each other and the pastoral beauties of the same English countryside that delighted the eyes of Tom Jones and Falstaff, are given new expression in a fifth novel, A LITTLE OF WHAT YOU FANCY.
