About this ebook
She’s back...
Miss Daisy, the curmudgeonly 1934 Austin, returns with another tale of exasperation and embarrassment as she reluctantly yet resolutely carries Her Ladyship and her dog Oscar, better known as The Asthmatic Barking Dog, all the way to John O’Groats, before turning south again. Her Ladyship tries to convince her that once they’ve reached there, the difficult part will be over, but Miss Daisy is unconvinced. If the next ten days are anything like her previous experiences of such trips, then she may as well go and get herself a one-way ticket to the scrapyard.
‘It’s downhill from then on Old Girl, all the way to Land’s End!’
Each day gets worse than the one before and as her ebullient owner relishes every mile, stopping occasionally to give a lift to a succession of oddball hitchhikers, Miss Daisy wonders why on earth such a simple everyday 200-mile journey has to be fraught with such catastrophe.
Miss Daisy Conquers Britain is an entertaining book that will never fail to raise a chuckle. It will appeal to fans of Pamela’s first book, the baby boomer generation and vintage and classic car enthusiasts. Pamela’s first book was featured in a wide range of national and local publications, including Austin Magazine, Wales on Sunday and The Western Mail.
