Opis

The Avery-Stripes, an unconventional English family, both irksome and endearing in equal measure, suffer from delusions of grandeur. The fourth Avery-Stripe, Montgomery, begat Horatio and then accidentally blew his brains out whilst shooting rabbits. Sixteen years after his demise, Montgomery's widow, Olivia, returns from her time abroad to the Bedford Park house of Bartholomew (uncle to Montgomery), to dictate the import of Avery-Stripe - its honour, traditions and the burden of noblesse oblige - to her four children: Horatio, tall and good-looking, docile and desirous of a halcyon existence; Valentine, a resourceful and effete aesthete who lives permanently in pyjamas; Wilhelmina, nicely upholstered and reluctantly tomboyish because she wishes to be a lady; and sweet, mute and special Cornelius. She is also in possession of a secret which will cause mayhem.
