OH! TO BE IN ENGLAND

When a letter announces the imminent arrival of Madame Dupont, Pop and Ma Larkin learn that little Oscar and Blenheim, Charley and Mariette's new boys - are to be christened. In fact, once Mr Candy, who will be officiating much to raven-haired Primrose's delight, learns that Pop and Ma have neglected the entire Larkin brood, the whole family seems set for a dunking! Pop who needs no excuse to open a few bottles of Dragon's Blood and host the perfick party, rushes out and buys a fun fair to celebrate, but there are one or two gate-crashers even he had not counted on turning up. 'Pop Larkin is a living, breathing quotable character, cast large in the heroic mould.' - The Times. 122 page Penguin paperback.
