Light Articles Only
In this amusing collection of articles and essays, A P Herbert ponders the world around him in his own inimitable style. Witty, droll and a respecter of no man, he provides a series of hilarious and unique sketches – and gently points the finger at one or two of our own idiosyncrasies.
Look Back And Laugh
On his 70th birthday, Herbert published a collection of his best, funniest, naughtiest and most daring essays and sketches. The old favourites are here, together with a collection of his lesser-known works. His satirical edge and witty insight loses nothing over the years and continues to delight, entertain and surprise readers young and old.
Mild And Bitter
Whilst still this side of the pearly gates, the versatile APH finds plenty of subjects to satirize, criticize, lament and laugh over – be they such eternal preoccupations of gentlemen at cricket, smoking, privacy, speech day, or that most fearful duty of them all – being the father of the bride.
The Old Flame
Robin Moon finds Phyllis a distraction. His wife, Angela, is preoccupied with Major Trevor. The Moons heads towards an enforced separation. Robin then feels free to link up with Phyllis and her friends, and dabbles in some far from innocent matchmaking. This ingenious work brilliantly addresses that age old problem – that of ‘the old flame’.
The Man About Town
A hilarious collection of musings, essays and sketches from the ever-versatile A P Herbert. Pondering quandaries such as which club to luncheon in and the difficulty of finding a decent golfing partner, we are reminded of a world since past. But as we mourn it, A.P.H. teasingly reminds us that though times might change, people never do.
General Cargo
In this collection of essays, articles and sketches, Herbert reveals, through his preoccupations and criticisms, opinions and hopes the thoughts and ways of an English gentleman. And as we read, we become increasingly aware of how much things have changed there is also a strange sense of nostalgia, a feeling of something having been lost forever.

Number Nine
The Admiral’s dedication could not be questioned – but it was a bit much expecting him to give up his ancestral home for the psychological testing of Civil Service candidates. Assisted by his son, he embarks upon a battle of wits against the political hopefuls. The result is a hilarious tale of double-crossing, eavesdropping – and total mayhem.
