Coming Up for Air: in search of a simpler life, George Bowling escapes London and an impending sense of war to return to his childhood village.

Keep the Aspidistra Flying: Gordon Comstock quits his advertising job to pursue the creative life in opposition to ‘the money god’. Only his ever-faithful Rosemary can rouse him from the stupor and challenge his commitment to his chosen way of life.

A Clergyman’s Daughter: intimidated by her father, the rector of Knype Hill, Dorothy performs her submissive roles of dutiful daughter and bullied housekeeper.
