Reader's note

A colourful 1959 edition of H.E. Bates' A Breath of French Air! In A Breath of French Air, Pop Larkin and his handsome family of seven step outside their rural paradise for an excursion into another world. Armed with plenty of tax-free cash, their Rolls-Royce and little French, they take their first holiday abroad. Their intensely English but wholly unconventional reactions to life in France, especially its ideas on love and food, are in that same vein of slightly Rabelaisian picaresque slap-stick that delighted readers of The Darling Buds of May on both sides of the Atlantic and prompted one critic to call that comedy ‘ five-alarm blaze of a book that is just about perfick.’
