GOING ABROAD

by Rose Macaulay ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

Here's a bit of spoofing at the expense of the Oxford Group which may offend a few of your customers who take it at all to heart -- but which will tickle the risibles of those who understand its foibles and appreciate its sincerities and keep their sense of humor uppermost. Picture the missionary spirit getting too much for a group, and setting the Basque Coast by the ears. All must be converted, from the good Bishop of Zanadu down to the Basque fisher folk. A ludicrous kidnapping further complicate things -- but achieves what it was designed to do. There's a spot too much religion, spoofed and otherwise -- but for the most part it is delicious irony, unique and hugely entertaining. Rose Macaulay has a distinct following -- this will delight them.
