Publisher's Synopsis
He crashed into post-war England with no past, a German accent thick as bunker walls, and a mania for order that turns Market Upton-a sleepy village of tea and gossip-into his personal fiefdom. Jeff's hedgehog drills, crumpet conquests, and tea-fueled tirades spark whispers: lost soldier, secret agent, or the Führer himself, dodging the Stars & Stripes headline-"Hitler Dead"? Margaret Wilkes, his tea-brewing guardian, shrugs off the shadows: "He's just Jeff!" Yet, as his diaries rant and her pragmatism steadies, a bond brews amid the chaos.
This is British farce at its daftest-a Hunting Hitler fever dream dunked in Monty Python wit and Basil Fawlty's bluster. From amnesiac wreck to Market Upton's "Mad King of Crumpets," Jeff's reign is a teapot tempest of silliness over suspicion. Pour a strong cuppa for this romp through village lunacy, where history's a punchline and order's the ultimate jest.
