Ted Wallace is an old, sour, womanising, cantankerous, whisky-sodden beast of a failed poet and drama critic, but he has his faults too.

Fired from his newspaper, months behind on his alimony payments and disgusted with a world that undervalues him, Ted seeks a few months repose and free drink at Swafford Hall, the country mansion of his old friend Lord Logan.

But strange things have been going on a Swafford. Miracles. Healings. Phenomena beyond the comprehension of a mud-caked hippopotamus like Ted...

I think this was found in the free book bin at the North Rd Salvation Army shop about a year ago. It's a funny read - I love Stephen Fry's sense of humour - but this is definitely not a book for everyone (contains detailed descriptions of bestiality, incest and other forms of debauchery, mostly for shock value). In very well read condition.
