Age Of Consent

In the same incomparable manner as his 'The Cautious Amorist,' Mr. Lindsay tells another happy and wise and conventional yarn - and illustrates it with his uniquely bold drawings.

Bradly Mudgett, and his dog, Edmund, thought they would have a peaceful few weeks at Margoola Beach. It seemed almost deserted, although gradually a quixotic group of small characters cut their solitude with bizarre events. Cora appeared - and her amazing grandmother - and Miss Marley, dreaming of a love to come out of the sea - and Podson, who might have been a lover but proved to be a robust complication in so pastoral a scene.

This unusual and witty book will capture and relieve all those who like a good story flavored with humor and motivated by intelligence.
