A friend from my book group kindly lent me Abbie by Dane Chandos about a million years ago, and I’ve somehow only recently got around to reading it. I think it looked almost too inviting – it seemed a delicious treat of a book that I didn’t think I quite deserved. And I thought it might be a sweet, old-fashioned children’s book, which isn’t something for which I’m always in the mood. - Well, I was right and I was wrong. It isn’t remotely sweet or a children’s book, but it is wonderful. - You (like my friend) are probably aware of my penchant for characterful old ladies in books, and Abbie does not disappoint. The episodic novel is narrated by Dane (I thought it might even be a sort of autobiography, until I discovered that Dane Chandos was actually the pseudonym for two authors, Peter Lilley and Nigel Millett) who, from his schooldays onwards, has a close and amusing relationship with his Aunt Abbie.

*N.B.* If you buy more than one book from me you only pay R 6 postage on each additional book – see what else I have to offer, it might be worth your while.
