An Uncle Fred novel Frederick, Earl of Ickenham, remains young at heart. So it is for him the act of a moment to lean out of the Drones Club window with a catapult and ping the silk top-hat off his grumpy in-law, the distinguished barrister Sir Raymond Bastable. Unfortunately things don??t end there. The sprightly earl finds that his action has inspired a scandalous bestseller and a film script ?? but this is as nothing compared with the entangled fates of the couples that surround him and which only his fabled sweetness and light can unravel.
