About this audiobook
A pompous German officer finds his rigid worldview dismantled during a caravan holiday in the English countryside. His disdain for his wife and his companions is revealed in a monologue of spectacular arrogance. As the trip unravels, so does his dignity, exposing the fool behind the veneer of superiority. Readers will delight in the delicious irony of a narrator who is the butt of the joke.
