The Hippopotamus
Book
Fired from his newspaper, cantankerous, boozy drama critic Ted Wallace seeks a few months repose and free drink at Swafford Hall, the home of his old friend Lord Logan. But strange things have been going on there - miracles and healings - phenomena beyond the ken of a mud-caked hippopotamus like Ted.

Add a CommentI'm a fan of Stephen Fry and this book is a good representative of his dry British wit. We follow our protagonist, an alcoholic, once famous, poet and rake as he becomes a detective in an estate worthy of Brideshead. The quirky characters sparkle with varying degrees of depravity and innocence.
I love you, Stephen /
but this is an unpleasant /
cocktail to swallow
