Bunderlin

by Robert Crompton

The story of a simple man, living his life by his own rules and the havoc that he plays in the lives of other people, who cannot seem to disentangle themselves from him. Bunderlin may be a criminal, a murderer even, but Martin isn't sure, and anyway he likes the strange, big, bumbling man - way that he plays with language and his distinct preference for animals over humans. As Martin is drawn further into Bunderlin's life, he finds himself inhabiting an underworld that he had previously only read about in books, and slowly realises he may even be in personal danger. A delightful read, particularly for anyone with a love of the English language.
