A great comedy of errors with a Christmas theme! Mrs Brown is beside herself with joy. Her family are gathering at Thompson Hall in Stratford-le-Bow for Christmas to meet her younger sister’s fiancé. For the first time in eight years, she will be spending Christmas in England instead of France and is eager to arrive in time for Christmas Eve. Her husband, however, is less keen. He has a sore throat and insists on stopping off at the Grand Hotel in Paris on the way home. After clambering into bed, Mr Brown asks for some mustard to ease his painful throat. Determined to help her ailing husband, Mrs Brown ventures forth to fulfil this request and ease his suffering. Little does she realise that this kind act will have the most embarrassing consequences. Anthony Trollope paints his characters in this story in such an endearing way that you can’t help loving all of them and the short time you spend with them. This is a quick read and it will make you laugh.
