For fans of France or first timers this book is a must!, I purchased this book on one of my families many trips to France, for something to pass the time on the ferry. I couldn't put it down. It's a long time since I have been so entertained by a book. The character of France and the French people has been captured in words beautifully and the hilarious exploits of George his wife Donella, their neighbours and Cato the cat(remember the chap from the Pink Panther) will have you laughing nearly all the way through the book. It is now my intention to read the whole saga from the start to the most recent adventures and I'm sure I will be equally entertained by them all. Why not join me and have a laugh at life for a change. Many thanks to George and Donella for sharing their lives with us. p.s. A message to Cato. Keep up the good work!
