Crampton Hodnet (Pym Barbara)(Paperback / softback)

INTRODUCED BY LOUIS DE BERNIERES''I''m a huge fan of Barbara Pym'' RICHARD OSMAN''I''d sooner read a new Barbara Pym than a new Jane Austen'' PHILIP LARKINFormidable Miss Doggett fills her life by giving tea parties for young academics and acting as watchdog for the morals of North Oxford. Anthea, her great-niece, is in love with a dashing undergraduate with political ambitions. Of this, Miss Doggett thoroughly approves. However, Anthea''s father, an Oxford don, is carrying on in the most unseemly fashion with a student - they have been spotted together at the British museum! But the only liaison Miss Doggett isn''t aware of is taking place under her very own roof: the lodger has proposed to her paid companion Miss Morrow. She wouldn''t approve of that at all.''Brilliant, hilarious and so very, very English'' DAILY MAIL''My favourite writer . . . I pick up her books with joy'' JILLY COOPER
