Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

LOUISE MORTIMER was educated at Yateley Hall, Daneshill and Tudor Hall. She has had a mixed career history: PR to an antiques' dealer, sales assistant, professional cook, kindergarten teacher at Garden House School, volunteer teacher for various charities in India and Mauritius. She has two children, Rebecca and Benjamin, and is currently semi-retired and living peacefully with slightly overweight border terrier, Marley Mortimer, in London.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Dearest Lumpy,
How did you get on in your examinations? If you did badly, I shall probably export you to work in the salt mines in Poland so just watch it! The weather continues chilly, too cold even for croquet. I have not been able to wear my new leopardskin bathing pants yet . . .

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 snort-inducing humour that made Dear Lupin a bestseller, Roger Mortimer guides and supports his daughter through every scrape she found herself in. Hilarious and instantly familiar, Dear Lumpy is a perfect example of the glorious art of letter writing, and the timeless relationship between father and daughter.

‘One of the most enjoyable books of recent years.’ Guardian
