Riassunto

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.

Recensione:

"My goodness what fruity language Fry uses! You can feel his enjoyment, and also the huge force of hi desire to please you, as you read this." -- William Leith, Mail on Sunday

"One of the funniest people writing on either side of the Atlantic...like a combination of Evelyn Waugh and Kingsley Amis but funnier than either." -- Publishers Weekly

L'autore:

Stephen Fry, who is Rector at Dundee University, lives in Norfolk and London. After writing The Liar he maintained that he would not write a second or third novel, but perhaps a fourth. The Hippopotamus is it. His hobbies include cooking his god-children and leaving out commas.
