Dear Lumpy
letters to a disobedient daughter
by Roger Mortimer
"Roger Mortimer's witty dressing-downs and affectionate advice were not only directed at his wayward son, 'Lupin'. Though better behaved than her mischievous older brother, Louise, aka 'Lumpy', still caused her father to reach for his typewriter. The trials and tribulations of Louise's days at boarding school, her eventful wedding and the birth of Roger's grandchildren are all accompanied by a sometimes chiding, but always loving letter. Dear Lumpy is a perfect example of the glorious art of letter writing, and the timeless relationship between father and daughter."--Publisher's description.

Work Description
'Dearest Lumpy, I hope you are plump and well. Your mother bashed her car yesterday and chooses to believe it was not her fault.' Roger Mortimer's witty dressing-downs and affectionate advice were not only directed at his wayward son, Lupin. Though better behaved than her mischievous older brother, Louise (aka 'Lumpy') still caused her father to reach for his typewriter. With the same unique charm and often snort-inducing humour that made 'Dear Lupin' a bestseller, Roger Mortimer's letters guide and support his daughter through every scrape she found herself in.
