About the Author

Victor Canning was a prolific writer throughout his career, which began young: he had sold several short stories by the age of nineteen and his first novel, Mr Finchley Discovers His England (1934) was published when he was twenty-three. It proved to be a runaway bestseller. Canning also wrote for children: his trilogy The Runaways was adapted for US children's television. Canning's later thrillers were darker and more complex than his earlier work and received further critical acclaim.

Praise for Victor Canning:
‘Quite delightful … with an atmosphere of quiet contentment and humour that cannot fail to charm’ Daily Telegraph

‘There is such a gentle humour in the book’ Daily Sketch

‘What counts for most in the story … is his mounting pleasure in vagabondage and the English scene’ The Times

‘A paean to the beauties of the English countryside and the lovable oddities of the English character’ New York Times

‘His delight at the beauties of the countryside and his mild astonishment at the strange ways of men are infectious’ Daily Telegraph

‘A swift-moving novel, joyous, happy and incurably optimistic’ Evening Standard
