«The Darling Buds of May» is the comic novel by H. E. Bates, published by Penguin in paperback (160 pages, in English).
Tax inspector Cedric Charlton visits the Larkins to review Pop's accounts, a good-natured scrap dealer who lives outside conventions with Ma and their children. The visit stretches on: between abundant meals, wildflowers and Mariette's attention, the official discovers a hedonistic life that ends up winning him over.
First instalment of the Larkin family series. The novel was originally published in 1958; this edition is from 2006.
Aimed at readers who enjoy British rural comedy, eccentric families and classic twentieth-century fiction.
The Bates–Hendricks neighborhood is situated just south and east of the downtown commercial district of Indianapolis, Indiana. The Fountain Square business district is just to the east.
