Mr Finchley Discovers His England Paperback / softback

Part of the Classic Canning series

Paperback / softback

Description

Mr Edgar Finchley, unmarried clerk, aged 45, is told to take a holiday for the first time in his life.

He decides to go to the seaside. But Fate has other plans in store…From his abduction by a cheerful crook, to his smuggling escapade off the south coast, the timid but plucky Mr Finchley is plunged into a series of the most astonishing and extraordinary adventures. His rural adventure takes him gradually westward through the English countryside and back, via a smuggling yacht, to London. This gentle comedy trilogy was a runaway bestseller on first publication in the 1930s and retains a timeless appeal today.

It has been dramatized twice for BBC Radio, with the 1990 series regularly repeated.
