“Half memoir, half travel, A Yank Back to England...is an absolutely wonderful book, not only about going home again but also about love and family and tradition and the passage of the years.” —Michael Dirda, Pulitzer Prize-winning literary critic (Washington Post) To see the entire quote, click here.

On a personal note
We are pausing briefly from our memories of England to remember our beloved Oscar Wilde, who has left us for the Field of Mice. You'll always be with us. Happy Hunting!
Oh I'm sorry to hear this :( He looked like a good mouser, let's hope he finds lots of hunting over the Rainbow Bridge... It's so hard losing pets. Hugs .>^..^<
Standing, from L to R: Lew (Dad), Frances (Prodigal Wife), Denis (The Prodigal Tourist), and Jessie (Mum). Floating: Kate (Prodigal Daughter).

Years ago I shed my Cockney accent and left London's blighted East End for America. Since then, I’ve only returned to see my increasingly cantankerous parents and assorted relatives. Until my American wife comes along. She wants to tour, see the sights. No thank you. It’s not for me. But she insists, and I become a reluctant tourist in my former homeland.

Thank you both, we appreciate your warm notes. Can't write more, still too emotional...
He was such a handsome boy! So sorry to hear of this loss.
I'm really sorry for your loss. I am sure he was a great cat, companion, and part of the family. R.I.P. Oscar!
