About this ebook

At the Ketterick Arts Festival no one relishes the dubious art of innuendo more than Des Capper, a font of dubious gossip and unwanted advice. To the horror of the actors and singers performing at the Festival, Des has been promoted to landlord of the Saracen’s Head, the Elizabethan inn that is at the Festival’s heart. And when Des toddles off to meet his maker, courtesy of someone’s helpful shove, only his wretched wife can summon up a tear. Readers, meanwhile, will have trouble containing their snickers at the wickedly witty characterizations.

    This has been on my bookshelf for a while, but I had forgotten about it and hadn't read it. It is an easy, funny, read. I have always enjoyed the way Barnard skewers the pretentious whether politicians or here, actors and musicians.
