All Arthur ever wanted to do was run a pub. When the brewery offered him a tenacy of a run down rural inn he couldn't believe his luck. But, like the wishes granted to greedy children by fairies, Arthur soon found that there were unexpected obstacles to fulfilling his dream....
And then the body count started to rise.
James is best known for his humorous novels. Especially his series of four volumes describing life in Peckham, South London, in the 1960s. The Peckham Novels are set in a factory, staffed by idiots and run by an incompetent boss, until the beautiful Tracey Mulligan takes a hand in its management.
They are quirky, comedic and highly improbable. One reviewer described them as 'The Carry On' team meet Tom Sharpe'.
Book 1 - Strudwick's Successor
Book 2 - Mulligan's Revenge
Book 3 - Paint the Town Red
Book 4 - Farewell to Peckham
Also set in the late sixties is The Parsonage Plots, another comedic novel set around a number of idiosyncratic allotment plot holders.
Set in Bournemouth in the 1960s, Percy's Predicament tells the tale of lost love, and crime in the world of accountancy. But not everybody is what they claim to be, and bets on the colour of hippy's nail varnish are an established office pastime.
Moving back in time to 1955, Publican's Progress is a Wodehouse style humorous murder mystery set in rural Dorset. The main character is a young man who has always wanted to run a pub. But, like the wishes granted by fairies to greedy children, when he does get offered a tenancy he quickly finds that having your wish come true does not always end happily, and life can get very complicated. Then the body count starts to rise...
James's humorous rural romantic two part novel, The Whitedown Chronicles, which is set in post-war Kent, describes an isolated community as it struggles to put tragedy behind it.
