The arrival of a French guest heralds christenings and chaos for the Larkin clan in this comic classic by the author of The Darling Buds of May.

When Mademoiselle Dupont, the hotel manager from the Larkins' frightful French holiday, announces she is coming over to be Oscar's godmother at his christening, Pop and Ma reveal none of their children are baptized. Mariette and Charley are already planning to christen their little Blenheim, but now all seven Larkin children will be joining him. Not that Pop and Ma would turn down a reason to partake of some champagne or Dragon's Blood . . .

But their plan is far from blessed. The second eldest Larkin, Primrose, is infatuated with the handsome young vicar, who already has his hands full dealing with the hell-raising Larkin twins. Of course, that is only the beginning of the Larkins' troubles, and it will take more than holy water to get them out of this mess.

Praise for the Pop Larkin Chronicles

Pop Larkin, Ma and their progeny . . . are essentially English of the rich and ribald England of Chaucer and Shakespeare. A superb and timeless comedy. --The Scotsman

Like Wodehouse's Jeeves, Bates' Larkins must continue in their own delightful milieu--in this case the Kentish countryside. --The New York Times
