You finish the book hungry for more." --The Times on The Snapper • "A wonderfully funny book, that crackles and spits like fat in the fryer. It is also very touching... fine entertainment." --Daily Telegraph on The Van • A new edition of the trilogy with a wonderful new jacket --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
