Description

Within this simultaneously amusing and touching companion volume to The Wapshot Chronicle, the people of the Wapshot group of St. Botolphs float not even close to their New England town in to the demented caprices of the great, the bad graces of the Government, and the embarrassing pit of adulterous interest. A book of sensitive and big perspective, The Wapshot Scandal is stuffed with smelly people and crazy twists of fate, and, above all, with Cheeveris luminous empathy for all his hapless other criminals of individual character.
