First meet young Lockhart Flawse from Flawse Hall on Flawse Fell. Then hear his story of gassing, whipping, blowing up, killing and stuffing - in fact, the everyday tale of a wild child of nature plunged into the genteel mock-Tudor world of surburban Surrey.

Review:
"[A] romp about one of nature's gentlemen making his innocent and ruthless way through the jungle of contemporary sex, VAT, law and order, etc. - savage, knock-about farce" (Observer)
"Black humour, comic anarchy at its best" (Sunday Times)
"All done with a savage delight which will have you laughing out loud" (Daily Mirror)
"He is funny, bitter, a danger to his public and should be applauded wildly by all" (The Listener)
"His tale of an illegitimate member of the squirearchy earning his inheritance by increasingly nasty methods is both inventive and pacy" (New Statesman)
From the Publisher:
A brilliant, biting, bestselling satire from the foremost satirist in the English language of his generation.
