Travels With My Aunt
'The only book I have ever written just for the fun of it' Graham Greene Greene proves a wonderful storyteller in this hilarious tale of the eccentricity of families and the pomposity of the middle class.

Soon after, she persuades Henry to abandon Southwood, his dahlias and the Major next door to travel her way, Brighton, Paris, Istanbul, Paraguay.
