Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

As funny as Evelyn Waugh and as enchanting as Laurie Lee's Cider with Rosie. Don't miss it (- Hearald)

Pop Larkin, Ma and their progeny . . . are essentially English of the rich and ribald England of Chaucer and Shakespeare. A superb and timeless comedy (- Scotsman)

Pop is as sexy, genial, generous, and boozy as ever. Ma is a worthy match for him in all these qualities (- The Times)

Pop Larkin is a living, breathing quotable character, cast large in the heroic mould (- The Times)

Busty and lusty (- New Statesman)

A gently, anarchic wish-fulfilling daydream (- The Times)

Reseña del editor:

'Christening? We never said nothing about no christening, Ma, did we?'

And so with the appearance of a letter announcing the imminent arrival of Madame Dupont, Pop and Ma Larkin learn that little Oscar and Blenheim - Charley and Mariette's new boy - 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 gatecrashers even Pop hadn't counted on turning up . . .
