A crisis in their parents' lives brings madness and death, a supernatural visitor and an all-too-real tiger.The children have to confront - and conquer - the follies of their elders with wit and invention. By reconstructing a highly sophisticated but almost forgotten world-view, Mercurius restores to us our own spiritual heritage which, rooted in the alchemists' dark retorts, will perhaps flower in the light of the future. ears are trembling on the verge of Technicolour, and the Blyte children are struggling to cope with the transition in their own idiosyncratic ways: Hugh's novel is held up by yearning for the Irish au pair Janey moons over the mystery of men and the enigmatic Black Mini George wages savage war on his Enemy and the Moo takes refuge in his exclusive Sloppy Club. Set among the mansions and tennis clubs of Surrey's richest suburb, The Savoy Truffle is a darkly comic drama that evokes an era when Mod gear was fab, the Shorty Nightie shocking, the coffee frothy, and a new Beatles' single brought hysteria to the classroom.
