Satirical and yet compassionate, Childish Things begins with a funeral at which Gregor Mc Leod, a retired school-master aged 72, is mourning the death of his wife Kate. It soon becomes evident, however, that Mc Leod has been something of a womaniser and, despite his very recent (and heartfelt) bereavement, is being pursued by an assortment of attractive women. Jenkins proceeds to explore Mc Leod”s adventurous escapades with these ladies both at home and abroad. The result is a tremendously compelling comic novel which retains all the sharpness, wit and pace that is customary from Jenkins, combined with a mellow, wry wisdom that never fails to entertain. His central theme, do we ever outgrow ”childish things”?, is explored with captivating insight and delicious humour. This is a gloriously readable novel from a consummate storyteller.
