Overshadowing everything, there is the mammoth country pageant in which Fairacre is so sharply and painfully divided...

No bishop is more endearingly plump and pompous than a P.G. Wodehouse bishop, no vicar more a pillar of his community (provided his sermons aren't too long), and in this collection of short stories we watch as they are plunged into one hilarious scenario after another.
