4.9/5 (12259 ratings)

Description:Philip Toynbee is already well known both as a young novelist and a constructive critic. Tea with Mrs Goodman is his most ambitious book. For no tea-party can ever have been so exactly chronicled as this ceremony in Coburg Square. Minute by minute we live and relive it through the interacting minds of all the guests; the charming beginning, the shadow that falls at the breaking of a cup, Max's longing, Father Morton's unfortunate attack, the mysterious comings and goings till the final triumph, after the dark night, of youth and joy. But behind the conventional scene of this extraordinary book lurks and older story, of a siege perilous, a land laid waste, a sick Fisher King and his jester, a dead knight in a chapel, another who fails in the quest, and a hero who at last refreshes the land, marries the King's daughter and receives the long-sought Graal. And what are these figures but expressions of a deeper truth, of cycles of spring and winter, youth and age, death and rebirth, of the Mother who must become our enemy if we are to grow up, of the Father who guides and advises us until we catch sight of ourselves in the mirror and know that it is time to bid farewell to Mrs. Goodman and leave for ever that bright room where we all expect so much, and outstay our welcome?We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
