Buy book: $15.00

Greene's fine sense of humor is displayed in this warm and far-reaching comic novel, Travels with My Aunt, a bestseller when it appeared originally. At his mother's funeral, Henry Pulling, a stuffy, retired bank manager with an interest in dahlias, meets his Aunt Augusta. The indomitable Aunt Augusta pulls Henry along on a whirlwind adventure traveling with an old lover, Wordsworth; Curran, the founder of a doggies' church; O'Toole, the C.I.A. man obsessed by statistics and his counter-culture daughter; and old Mr. Visconti, who has been wanted by Interpol for twenty years. Henry describes their activities with shock and bewilderment, and finally with the tenderness, of a fellow traveler going their way.

I am really enjoying this read so far. I had never heard of this book, or author. I will have to go ck this book out and finish this one.

Believe I have read this book M A N Y years ago, but after reading an excerpt, think it is time I borrow the one copy from my library and revisit - I do remember the droll wit - and the enjoyment thereof -

I've placed a hold on this book at my local library. I'm already hooked with Aunt Agusta, she is something. I love that a different classic will be featured each month. I migh never have found "Travels with my Aunt". I have a feeling I might have missed a gem. Thanks Suzanne your book clubs rock.
