The Making Of Mr Bolsover Reviews

"A minor masterpiece of the deadpan... a very, very funny book... genuinely original and written with understated intelligence" Sunday Telegraph "Very funny and charming" -- Kate Saunders The Times "A brilliant parody... Blending the sublime with the suburban produces some of the best humour, and Medvei has it down to a fine art" -- Stephen Coulson Lady "An exploration of how myths are engendered as much as it is a whimsical satire of political ambition... Very much in love with the Sussex countryside that it so beautifully evokes... Assured, precise prose" -- Philip Womack Literary Review "a master-piece of writing" -- Mags Fisk Nudge Book
