Description

At Corduroy Mansions, the eccentric residents of a crumbling Pimlico mansion find their lives entangled in a series of increasingly improbable adventures. William French’s small, resourceful dog, Freddie de la Hay, is recruited by MI6 to infiltrate a Russian spy ring, while a proposed Centre for Cosmological Studies and an author’s extraordinary tale of the Abominable Snowman add further complications. Moving among the building’s many distinctive inhabitants, the novel explores friendship, loyalty, vanity, and the curious ways people search for meaning and connection. With gentle wit, warmth, and keen insight into human foibles, it is an utterly charming ensemble comedy from a master storyteller.
