Review:
'Astonishing, amazing. It is like nothing else in the world. It is a work of genius' --The New Statesman
'It's short, funny, and...I would recommend it to those who want to give Ivy Compton Burnett a go, and don't feel up to one of her longer novels. If you like this, there's a lot more to explore - if you don't, at least it has one of Hesperus' beautiful covers!' --Stuck in a Book
Ivy Compton-Burnett (1884-1969) was a celebrated English novelist noted for her wit and sardonic style. She won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and was awarded a DBE.Sue Townsend is a British novelist and playwright best known for the hugely popular Adrian Mole series and for such social satires as The Queen and I (1992) and Number Ten (2002)

Book Description Hesperus Press Ltd, United Kingdom, 2009. Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. Brand new Book. "The sight of duty does make one shiver," said Miss Herrick. "The actual doing of it would kill one, I think." Ever anxious to keep up appearances, self-avowed intellectual and scholar Nicholas Herrick knows that to involve himself in the running of his own school would be a condescension too far. Assembling around himself a cast of fittingly fawning friends and aides, he sets about unveiling his final masterpiece. Described in contemporary reviews as "a work of genius," Pastors and Masters inaugurated the writing career of an author gifted with a rare skill for characterization and for wry portrayals of domestic scenes.
