'England will never be the same after this Wild group of Australians and 'ARRY hilariously descend on its Shores, shattering a thousand years of relative peace. (That includes the War).

Funny scene after side splitting scene flash at a dizzying jet propelled pace in the funniest Australian Book of all time. Shocked reactions of Royalty at the Queen's Garden Party, astonishment at N0. 10 Downing Street, complete breakdown of the Diplomatic Corps. The Aristocracy given the hangover of a real Australian Party, shambles left of a Beefeater, an Opera performance completely demolished and so it rushes on. The central character 'arry and his family including Teenage daughter and son, horrifyingly aware of their Father's talent for trouble, speed with him through chaos after chaos, but are unable to get off the speeding train of trouble, and even build on it themselves. To add to this, 'arry involves a group of Australians living in England and the actions of the 'Aussies" becomes a Major Government interest. HE MUST HAVE BEEN MAD.

Any chapter on its own is the basis for a hilarious book, fast moving, loaded with explosive laughter...NOTHING BEFORE HALF AS FUNNY' (Publisher's blurb)
