But for Bunter

Bill Bunter lives! This announcement by his ex-wife sends Patrick - a
Greyfriars' addict since boyhood -on a quest that puts his job on the
line, and new life into his orderly affair with his secretary.
Take a time-serving civil servant, and add a wife, a separation and a not
particularly overwhelming affair with a secretary half his age. Throw in Billy
Bunter, the rascally Fat Owl of the Remove, and stir well.
Patrick Weymouth’s encounter with one extremely fat octogenarian rogue
causes the transformation not only of his relationships (and indeed his entire
life) but also of twentieth-century British history.
Could there really have been a Billy Bunter? Did the Fat Owl make the Titanic
sink? Could the legendary ‘Famous Five’ at Greyfriars have been modelled on
even more famous originals?
How could you ever have doubted it?
Splendidly funny, provocative and original,
BUT FOR BUNTER
is a novel to be savoured (as delicately as Billy Bunter used to savour the taste
of someone else’s cake).
