About this listen

Mr Finchley takes a fancy to a horse-drawn caravan that he sees for sale, but his new wife does not relish the prospect of a caravan journey, so he sets off alone to explore the countryside and go house-hunting.

While learning to handle the horse and the caravan, he encounters a variety of eccentrics and country characters, and several unsuitable houses. It gradually emerges that the caravan contains a secret, and Mr Finchley finds himself in real trouble.

This gentle comedy trilogy was a runaway bestseller on first publication in the 1930s and retains a timeless appeal today. It has been dramatised twice for BBC Radio, with the 1990 series regularly repeated.

I love the gentle, amiable tone of this trilogy. John Higgins expertly captures the humorous and playful atmosphere of Victor Canning’s writing. I listened to all three books in quick succession and enjoyed every minute. I’m so pleased to have found another 1930s author to add to my library.

Great fun
