Mr Finchley Takes the Road, Paperback / softback Book

Mr Finchley Takes the Road Paperback / softback

Part of the Classic Canning series

Paperback / softback

Description

Mr Finchley takes a fancy to a horse-drawn caravan that he sees for sale, but his new wife does not relish the prospect of a caravan journey so she goes to visit her brother, while he sets out to explore the countryside and go house-hunting. While learning to handle the horse and the caravan, he encounters a variety of eccentrics and country characters, and several unsuitable houses.

It gradually emerges that the caravan contains a secret, and Mr Finchley finds himself in real trouble – until his wife comes to the rescue. 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.
