The funny and moving story of the apocalypse - as seen from one
small village in England 'I loved this book, by turns funny and
tragic ... It moves between abject despair and good old-fashioned
British stoicism with ease. Magical' Jeff Noon, Spectator, Books of
the Year 2018 Retired teacher Edgar Hopkins lives for the thrill of
winning poultry prizes. But his narrow world is shattered when he
learns that the moon is about to come crashing into the earth, with
apocalyptic consequences. The manuscript he leaves behind will be a
testament - to his growing humanity and to how one English village
tried to survive the end of the world... Written in 1939 as the
world was teetering on the brink of global war, R. C. Sherriff's
tragicomic novel is a masterly work of science fiction, and a
powerful warning from the past. 'Spectacular, skilled and moving.
It is supremely and alarmingly relevant' Fay Weldon 'Intensely
readable and touching' Sunday Telegraph
