Description
Backstory pick
Such a sharply observed, gently humorous book about an ordinary family from Dulwich in the 1930s taking their annual holiday in Bognor. Guaranteed to make you smile. Tom
Meet the Stevens family, as they prepare to embark on their yearly holiday to the coast of England. Mr. and Mrs. Stevens first made the trip to Bognor Regis on their honeymoon, and the tradition has continued ever since. They stay in the same guest house and follow the same carefully honed schedulenow accompanied by their three children, twenty-year-old Mary, seventeen-year-old Dick, and little brother Ernie.
The Stevenses savor every moment of their holiday, aware that things may not be the same next year.
