BATES, H.E. - A Breath of French Air

London, Michael Joseph. 1959, 1st UK Edition. Hardcover. Book, A sequel to the "Darling Buds of May" with the irrepressable Larkin family. "'I should like to go to France,' said Ma said. 'I think it would do us all good to get some sun.' And so at the end of a rainy English August the Larkins - all ten of them, including little Oscar, the family's new addition - bundle into the old Rolls and cross the Channel to escape the hostile elements. But far from being the balmy, sunny and perfick spot Ma Larkin hoped for, France proves less than welcoming to an eccentric English family. The tea's weak, the furniture breakable and the hotel manager is almost as hostile as the wind and the rain they've brought with them! And when the manager learns that Ma and Pop are unmarried yet sharing a room under his roof, the trouble really begins". Fine/Near Fine - Slight Chip.
