From one of the greatest comedic writers of a generation comes a
story of love, faith and taxidermy. 'Three mighty obstacles
threaten the burgeoning love of childhood sweethearts Timothy
Pickering and Naomi Walls. They are Steven Venables, a dead curlew
and God.' 1978: Two lovers perch precariously on the cusp of
adulthood. Timothy's father decides it's time for him to take on
the family taxidermy business; while Naomi dreams of a career on
the stage. Across the decades their lives continue to interweave,
and occasionally cross - bound by the pull of intoxicating first
love. But will their destinies ultimately unite them? Nobbs moves
his exceptional comic talent to a new-found depth. Memorable and
moving, a tale of love won and love lost. You will never look at
the art of taxidermy in the same way again.
