Corduroy Mansions

Product Description

Corduroy Mansions' is the affectionate nickname given to a genteelly crumbling mansion block in London's vibrant Pimlico. This is the home patch of a lovelorn literary agent, possibly the first ever nasty Liberal Democrat MP, & Freddie de la Hay, an urbane, simpatico terrier trained to be a vegetarian & respectful of feline rights. Elsewhere, the eccentric Terence Moongrove is on a voyage of self-discovery which takes him to Cheltenham to experiment with sacred dance & where he develops a liking for fast cars. Loafers, wine merchants, vitamin evangelists & the occasional analyst pass each other on the stairs on this delightful des res. With his trademark wit, charm & lightness of touch Alexander Mc Call Smith introduces a colourful cast of characters, full of life, laughter & humanity so beloved in his writing.
