Charlotte Macleod and her Professor Peter Shandy foray successfully into fantasy. Visiting Wales with two of his buddy's Stott manages to traipse via a giant hogweed (wild asparagus)epidemic into a century long past peopled by weird, flamboyant individuals who have a lot of trouble with each other and the giant hogweed. Lots of fun, saucy, with a penchant for portraying us like we really are.

This is probably the weirdest of Charlotte MacLeod's strange stories. Her sense of humor is as apparent as ever, and it is extremely clever writing. Referrals to the Chronicles of Narnia and other English fantasy tales occur as Peter Shandy and his professor friends help England and the world get rid of the giant hogweed. They find themselves in another time, in another place and it is a farcical British fantasy story. It is different, but it is still Charlotte MacLeod!
