“A PHEASANT TO WATER”
Set in the heady days of the nineteen seventies, this is the hilarious
sequel to the highly acclaimed Fishing
With Harry - a tale of piscatorial mayhem. Harry is a bluff, no-nonsense
character of Huguenot extraction, ex-Army and the War Office, with a ribald
sense of humour and a cleanliness fetish. He is step-father-in-law to Tony, a
reluctant accountant brought up as a young Jewish boy in the Essex countryside.
An ill-matched pair, the bedrock of their relationship is a shared obsession
for fishing and a love of the great outdoors.
Journeying on the Thames and inland canals in a bright yellow cabin-cruiser, then on a narrow boat and later in a weird, paddle-driven contraption
purchased on a whim, the capacity of this unlikely pair to generate grown-up
mischief is taken to new heights, leaving mayhem and mystified onlookers in
their wake. Flood alerts, boat crashes, duckings, near-drownings, rotting food,
teeth lost overboard plus eccentric characters met along the way, all
interspersed with the occasional landing of fish, confirm we are back in the
uniquely charming and chaotic world inhabited by Tony and the incorrigible
Harry. Welcome aboard!
