"Dear Lampy, I hope you are fat and well. Your mother crashed her car yesterday and chooses to believe it was not her fault..." Roger Mortimer's caustic observations and tender advice were not only for his wayward son, Lupin. Though she was better than her roguish elder brother, Louise (known as "Lampy") also prompted her father to reach for his typewriter. Louise's trials and adventures at boarding schools, her adventurous marriage to Hot-Hand-Henry, and the birth of his grandchildren are accompanied by letters that are sometimes critical but always full of love. Among these events, Roger provides updates on the family, pets, and local gossip, comments on the weather and road safety, and even suggests the best way to make gravy soup, all in his unmistakable style. With the same unique charm and often humorous wit that made "Dear Lupin" a bestseller, Roger Mortimer guides and supports his daughter through every adventure she encountered. Funny and instantly familiar, "Dear Lampy" is a perfect exhibition of the wonderful art of letter writing and the timeless relationship between father and daughter.
