This delightful tale is about residents of Corduroy Mansions, an apartment complex in Pimlico, in the London area. There is William, a middle aged wine merchant, who seems to have a problem "evicting" his adult son, Eddie, from his flat. William finally gets a dog, a Pimlico terrier, called Freddie de la Hay. Eddie hates dogs. A dog with a last name, how odd, thought William, but there you are. This is London. Then there is Dee who strongly believes in colonic irrigation and promotes it wherever she can. Jenny, who lives in the flat above William, works for Oedipus Snark, an obnoxious MP who lives in the neighborhood. We also have Marcia who would like her friendship with William to go further. Check out these and other tenants of the very rustic and homely Corduroy Mansions
