Book description
Reginald Iolanthe Perrin is sick to death with selling exotic ices at
Sunshine Desserts. He's fed up with his boss C. J. who delights in
making his life hell. And he's had enough of his eager young
assistants who think everything is 'super'.
So begins Reggie's battle against consumerism. Driven to desperation
by the rat race and the unpunctuality of Britain's trains, Reggie's
small eccentricities escalate to the extreme.
Until, finally, he leaves behind the unacceptable face of capitalism
altogether. Driven off in a motorised jelly, and creating the world's
biggest loganberry slick on his way, he dumps his clothes on a Dorset
beach and sets off for new adventures...
David Nobbs was born in Kent. After university, he entered the army,
then tried his hand at journalism and advertising before becoming a
writer. A distinguished novelist and comedy writer, he lives near
Harrogate with his wife Susan.
