Description

A wild escape from lockdown through fantasy, satire and sheer comic genius.

Richard Heller is a man of letters, few of them answered, and a cricketer in the sunset of a career which never really had a dawn.

He has been confined to his premises in Rubato Towers, London SE, which he shares with a mouse and two fornicating foxes.

He gives regular piano recitals to his neighbours and they bang on the walls and ceilings to hear more - sometimes half the night, they just won't let go.

He has been free of COVID19 but suffers from a regular Mystery Virus, producing flu-like symptoms, which he named after Peter Mandelson.

He is writing an autobiography, full of the famous people who knew him, called My Goodness, How I Roared! and compiling a set of upbeat homilies called Happy Talk, tasks regularly interrupted by the tiresome Prodnose.

He faces competition in the upbeat homily market from the Resident Mouse. His entourage expands to include a poetic cockroach who claims to be the famous archy and a bridge-playing goldfish.
