There are books that make you laugh, and then there are the Dornford Yates Berry novels — gloriously witty, warmly nostalgic, and utterly irresistible to anyone who has ever savoured the golden age of English comic writing. As Berry and I Were Saying reunites readers with Boy Pleydell and his irrepressible brother-in-law Berry, as the two settle into a series of rambling, hilarious, and surprisingly poignant conversations that wind through memories of a vanishing England — its country houses, its characters, and its customs — with all the ease and charm of a long afternoon in good company. Dornford Yates, the pen name of Cecil William Mercer, was a master of a very particular English voice: precise, playful, and laced with a deep affection for a world he knew was passing. This late entry in the beloved Berry series doubles as an affectionate memoir, blurring the lines between fiction and autobiography as Yates reflects on a lifetime of storytelling. Rich with anecdote, sharp with wit, and suffused with elegiac warmth, it stands as both a fitting capstone to one of British fiction's most entertaining series and a tantalising portrait of an era forever lost.
