A Load of Old Bones: The Curious Exploits of the Reverend Francis Oughterard as Recounted by Himself with Interspersions from His Cat Maurice and His Dog Bouncer - Softcover
Synopsis
Introducing a vicar and his most peculiar cat and dog...All the Reverend Francis Oughterard had ever wanted was some peace and quiet, instead he becomes entangled in a nightmare world of accidental murder, predatory female parishioners, officious policemen and a drunken bishop. As the vicar's life spirals out of control it is his supercilious cat, Maurice, and bone obsessed hound, Bouncer, who save the day. "A Load of Old Bones" is a charming and farcical romp through a 1950's mythical Surrey.
