About this listen
Mr Edgar Finchley, unmarried clerk, aged 45, is told to take a holiday for the first time in his life. He decides to go to the seaside. But Fate has other plans in store...
From his abduction by a cheerful crook, to his smuggling escapade off the south coast, the timid but plucky Mr Finchley is plunged into a series of the most astonishing and extraordinary adventures.
His rural adventure takes him gradually westward through the English countryside and back, via a smuggling yacht, to London.
This gentle comedy trilogy was a runaway best-seller on first publication in the 1930s and retains a timeless appeal today. It has been dramatised twice for BBC Radio, with the 1990 series regularly repeated.

Great Fun
An innocent and gently amusing tale of a middle aged man's search for adventure. The narrator suits the story perfectly. Very enjoyable.

NOT UNABRIDGED
This book is most definitely abridged. I have the original hardback edition of this book and liked the idea of listening to it. I soon discovered that it is most definitely abridged - checked it against the book itself and found parts missing.. I will grant that the abridgement has been done well - and I am enjoying listening to the book in spite of that, but you should be aware that it IS abridged,

Very enjoyable
This was just what was needed in these troubled times - a gentle, humorous and ultimately feel good listen.
