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.\n\nDornford 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203211501787,"sku":"2026200015502-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/fd285ce2-9603-4736-a6fc-57255c94b853.png?v=1788145857","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015502-secondhand-as-berry-and-i-were-saying","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
