To begin with, Kirk and Ruth's marriage was blissfully happy and in due course a son, Bill, was born. But then Ruth comes firmly under the thumb of Aunt Lora whose strong views on the care of children do not accord with Kirk's own natural, fatherly instincts.

""He exhausts superlatives"" (STEPHEN FRY)

""Pure word music"" (DOUGLAS ADAMS)

""The Everyman edition promises to be a splendid celebration of the divine Plum"" ( THE INDEPENDENT)

""The handsome bindings are only the cherry on top of what is already a cake without compare"" ( EVENING STANDARD)
