The first book to feature the village of Muggberry's most distinguished and individually thinking couple, the Cluckbuckets.
When life's illogical moments and frustrations become stressful, the Cluckbuckets decide they need a holiday abroad. Not a great problem for many, but a lot of it's new to them. They soon find themselves embroiling security staff, antagonising fellow travellers, and dealing with crooks. Besides, how are they to know a week in an airport terminal is not usually normal?
Somehow they manage to leave many residents reeling in their wake. Muggberry's Vicar engages in voodoo. Helpful villagers Florrie Herbert and David Pyrtle are nearly buried alive. And the vicar's live-in/live-out Jenny the 'house-lady' has to struggle to keep order in the vicarage. Then there are the mishaps, mistakes and misunderstandings. Plus a few dogs.
Will the Cluckbuckets have their holiday after all?
