Buttercups and Daisies

The adventures of Mr Waterall and family when they buy 'a place in the country'. Surrounded by a host of the maddest of Mackenzian characters, Roger and Ralph Waterall savour the delights of rustic simplicity, while Mr Waterall suffers the escapades of his two high-spirited sons and the machinations of his fellow refugees from suburbia. When Mr Waterall decides to take a hand in local affairs, the fun is fast and furious for the boys and their friends, Texas Bill, Uncle 'Gus' and Peter the dog. Buttercups and Daisies is a masterpiece of humorous narrative from Compton Mackenzie's versatile pen.
