Overview

Geoff Sadler, author of the much acclaimed 'Tripe and Spanish onions', now introduces us to the residents of '37 Oscar Terrace'. In Victorian days the most prestigious hotel on the South Coast, 'The Mansions' are now a run-down block of apartments. Meet 'Wily' Wilkins, the Council's Chief Planning Officer, a romantic novelist in dire straits, a ninety year old with an unexpected past, and a young roué with a doubtful future. The exploits of the redoubtable Mrs Baverstock-Taylor, Chairman and self-appointed dictator of The Mansions, a scheming femme fatale, and many more, ensure chuckles galore. Discover too why Bert Figgins, The Mansion's dodgy caretaker, laughed all the way to the bank. As the Great Oscar himself put it 'Life is far too important a thing ever to write seriously about.'
