The Darling Buds Of May

H.E.Bates' stories depicting life with the lovable Larkin family and their idyllic life in the Kent countryside in 1957 have been perennial favorites with readers and audiences alike.

Led by 'happy- go-lucky' Pa Larkin and big hearted Ma, life with their six children is full of surprises, not least when their eldest daughter Mariette falls for an unsuspecting young Tax Inspector. A rich variety of visitors and eccentric neighbours come and go.
