Mrs Caldicot's Knickerbocker Glory
(2006)(The second book in the Mrs Caldicot series)
A novel by Vernon Coleman
The second book in the Mrs Caldicot series.
'A light hearted comedic novel with a serious message.' - WI Home and Country.
'Sequels have a tendency to fall flat - not so in this sequel to Mrs Caldicot's Cabbage War. It's a humorous tale but has a deeper significance as the oldies battle with authority, adversity, greed and spite with hope in their hearts. It's sure to go down well with older readers. Smartly written, a comedy that sets you thinking, and uplifting too.' - Chester Chronicle

`On the first occasion I picked up this book I laughed out loud and felt quite uplifted.' - Mrs O.J., Hampshire
