About This Item
New York: Henry Holt and Co, 1999. First American edition. Hardcover. As New/as new. Michael Frayn has been writing comic pieces since the 60s' but this comedy of manners is close to being a conventional novel. The wonderful premise is that a painting by Breughel, lost for centuries has popped up under the nose of our foolish narrator, whose only job is to steal the picture and prove his thesis to the world; as long as he does not screw things up...
Synopsis
"A British comedy in which academic Martin Clay is asked by a boorish country squire to assess his paintings. Clay spots what he suspects is a Bruegel and so begins a tale of lies and concealment as he schemes to separate the painting from its owner. By the author of Now You Know." --from WorldCat
