<p><b>INTRODUCED BY LOUIS DE BERNIERES</b><br><br><b>''I''m a huge fan of Barbara Pym'' RICHARD OSMAN</b><br><br><b>''I''d sooner read a new Barbara Pym than a new Jane Austen'' PHILIP LARKIN</b><br><br>Formidable Miss Doggett fills her life by giving tea parties for young academics and acting as watchdog for the morals of North Oxford. Anthea, her great-niece, is in love with a dashing undergraduate with political ambitions. Of this, Miss Doggett thoroughly approves. However, Anthea''s father, an Oxford don, is carrying on in the most unseemly fashion with a student - they have been spotted together at the British museum! But the only liaison Miss Doggett isn''t aware of is taking place under her very own roof: the lodger has proposed to her paid companion Miss Morrow. She wouldn''t approve of that at all.<br><br><b>''Brilliant, hilarious and so very, very English'' DAILY MAIL</b><br><br><b>''My favourite writer . . . I pick up her books with joy'' JILLY COOPER</b></p>
