Book 2 of the classic trilogy of humorous rural adventures through pre-war England.
An ebullient Mr Finchley is about to propose marriage to a lady he had rescued from mishap,
when he is sent to Paris by his firm.
There he manages to upset a boat, adopt a stray orphan and get himself kidnapped. The fine
tangle he gets into takes some unravelling! Only when eventually back in London does he
complete the proposal of marriage that was interrupted at the start.
Jerome Jerome meets Mr Bean in this gentle comedy series, which 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.
Victor Canning was a prolific writer throughout his career, which began young: he had sold
several short stories by the age of nineteen and his first novel, Mr Finchley Discovers His England
(1934) was published when he was twenty-three. Canning also wrote for children: his trilogy The
Runaways was adapted for US children’s television. Canning’s later thrillers were darker and
more complex than his earlier work and received further critical acclaim.
