"Must be one of the most variously funny novels in the language" wrote PUNCH when this book was first published, and the humour is as fresh and irrepressible today as it was in 1960. Patrick Standish is a grammar school Classics master, who airs his contempt for culture and civilised living. However, he has one absorbing interest - girls, and in particular Jenny Bunn. School-teacher Jenny proves to be no pushover, and, while Patrick disports himself elsewhere, he still pursues her with every ruse in the repertoire, finally taking her by storm.

About the Author:
Kingsley Amis's (1922-95) works take a humorous yet highly critical look at British society, especially in the period following the end of World War II. Born in London, Amis explored his disillusionment in novels such as That Uncertain Feeling (1955). His other works include The Green Man (1970), Stanley and the Women (1984), and The Old Devils (1986), which won the Booker Prize. Amis also wrote poetry, criticism, and short stories.
