About this product

Product Information

A Rabelaisian portrait of a college and the ancient traditions of the university, Porterhouse Blue is one of the best-loved classic comic novels of our time. ______________________________ The 'endlessly funny' novel widely regarded as a classic of comic English literature Porterhouse College is world renowned for its gastronomic excellence, the arrogance of its Fellows, its academic mediocrity and the social cache it confers on the athletic sons of country families. Sir Godber Evans, ex-Cabinet Minister and the new Master, is determined to change all this. Spurred on by his politically angular wife, Lady Mary, he challenges the established order and provokes the wrath of the Dean, the Senior Tutor, the Bursar and, most intransigent of all, Skullion the Head Porter - with hilarious and catastrophic results.

  • A lighting a dark place!

    I read this years ago, and laughed. I read it again a couple of weeks ago, and laughed even more. So I purchased this copy for one of my children (adult) so he could laugh in this current "plagued" time.
