Comprised of an entertaining series of vignettes that occur at the Pelican Pub in Downish, England, Poet's Pub is a humor-filled collection of stories by award winner Eric Linklater - one of the original titles commissioned by Penguin Classics founder Allen Lane - and again available to American readers. When an Oxford poet named Saturday Keith assumes control of the Pelican Pub, what he desires most is the peace and freedom to craft his poems without being disturbed. This is the least of what happens, for the local watering hole soon becomes an out-and-out attraction for various eccentric characters ranging from uncouth rogues to members of academia.

Reviews for Poet's Pub

Do you enjoy screwball comedy movies from the 1930s? Then you'll love this novel, a lark in almost a literal sense, flying high above the English countryside, taking in the whole parade of human folly with chirping delight and impartial wisdom. . . If you don't buy this wonderful novel, you'll never know what joys you're missing. <br> -- BookPage<br><br> Best reissue thus far of 2012? Got to be Poet's Pub . . . Fizzy. Nicely sour. <br> --Dwight Garner
