About this listen

Here, in Lynne Truss' first novel, we meet Osborne Lonsdale, a down-at-heel journalist, mysteriously attractive to women, who writes a regular celebrity interview for Come into the Garden. This week his "Me and My Shed" column will be based on the charming garden outhouse owned by TV sitcom star Angela Farmer. Unbeknownst to Osborne, driving down to Devon to interview Angela in her country retreat, the sleepy magazine has been taken over by new management. And so Osborne's research trip is interrupted by a trainload of anxious hacks from London - Lillian the fluffy blonde secretary, Michelle the subeditor who has a secret crush on Osborne, and Trent Carmichael, crime novelist and best-selling author of S is for Secateurs!

I LOVED this book.. I loved the humour and the brilliant reader.. it was done so very well.. I was very sad that this narrator wasn’t used again for her books.. the way he did the different characters was nothing short of brilliant .
