Review:
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)
