My Granny's Great Escape

This romping and original family adventure is excellently read in a quick, up beat way by Mark Williams. The speed is important as it carries some of the weaker jokes by nipping through them rather than labouring them for the laugh. Young grandparents behaving badly - as Hell's Angels to be precise - make two families reconsider their roles. Liberal Dad suddenly comes all over stuffy when his own mum falls in love with Lancelot, father of his pernickity neighbour, Mr Tug. Mum provides a sensible antidote as Dad and Mr Tug become increasingly ridiculous in their attempts to stop the romantic couple. Very funny with a good narrative voice supplied by grandson Nicholas.
