Henry Wilt, Tom Sharpe's beleaguered hero, returns again for another hilari ous dose of quickfire farce. Stuck in a job he doesn't want -- but can't afford to lose -- as nominal He ad of the Communications Department at Fenland University, Wilt is still su bject to the whims of The Powers That Be, both in and outside of work. The demands of his snobbish wife Eva, and the stupendous school fees of his des picable quadruplet daughters, cause him the biggest headaches. apart from the hangovers, that is. When Eva signs him up for a summer job, teaching t he gun-toting idiot son of a lusty local aristocrat, Wilt is not amused. Bu t, as circumstances unravel and the summer goes on, Wilt sees that the situ ation could be put to his financial advantage, as well as giving Eva some h eadaches of her own. With Tom Sharpe's famous dark humour in full evidence, and an explosive plo t which takes its readers to places they never realised they wanted to visi t, The Wilt Inheritance is another instant classic from the British master of farce. From the Trade Paperback edition.
