Patrick Parker's Progress

Paperback original. Royal 8vo. Pp. xii, 349, [7 (blank)]. Pictorial wraps.

Signed by Author to title page.

A darkly humorous tale about male megalomaniacal ambition, monstrously self-righteous mothers and divine retribution. "There has always been a touch of the Alan Bennett about Mavis Cheek. Both writers share an uncanny talent for capturing the cadences of the way we speak, and for re-creating them on the page so delicately and with such charm that it takes your breath away." –Daily Mail
