A Bachelor's Comedy

In 'A Bachelor's Comedy' by J.E. Buckrose, the story starts with a new reverend, Andrew Deane, traveling to his new parish in Gaythorpe-on-the-Marsh. He is self-conscious about his appearance, particularly his curly hair. When he arrives, he is shown around the Vicarage by the churchwarden, Mr. Thorpe. Mr. Thorpe tells him about the first bachelor vicar of the parish, and Andy sees this as a connection between them. The novel promises to be a hilarious read as Andy navigates the challenges of his new position as a bachelor and a new reverend in the village.
