About this listen
A year has passed, and in this third novel of the Pop Larkin series, Pop Larkin is preparing to build the bungalow he promised Charley and Mariette upon their engagement. He buys a country home slated for demolition, intending to convert it for the two, but it is not long before a London couple persuade him to sell it. Pop, ever the trickster, sells it for an extortionate price, as the two social climbers know little about country life. Party throwing and cocktail mixing abound until a rocky boat and a misplaced pair of hands have Pop before the local magistrate....
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Delightfully relaxing
H.E. Bates is the great rural storyteller. His Larkin novels evoke a countryside that is at once restful and nostalgic. Pop is a loveable rogue of a man who just wants everyone he loves to have fun. These stories are fun to listen to. Beautifully read. My only criticism is that they are far too short!

I’ve always loved these stories but...
I’ve always loved these stories but in a post-“me too” world, Pop’s behaviour feels almost inexcusable. I have felt increasingly uncomfortable with casual misogyny of these novels as I have revisited them over lockdown. The author and Pop Larkin may think it is harmless to kiss women and pinch their thighs and behinds but it does strike a discordant note now. And the way that one character’s response to his taking liberties is dealt with definitely smacks of the victim blaming culture. If however I detach myself from my current time and culture the novel is funny and loveable. But be warned, it is not a novel of the 21st century and sits firmly in its time period, in its attitudes.
