About this book

A quirky, wry and ironic tale. The Ransomes have been burgled; everything has gone, even the lavatory paper. For the stuffy solicitor and his downtrodden wife it marks a turning point, a kind of liberation. Nothing will ever be quite the same, even when their possessions reappear as they left them.
