STOP THE CAR, MR. BECKET!

FIRST EDITION SOLD OUT! SECOND EDITION ONLY!

The amusing and extraordinary adventures of Ephraim Rendon are catalogued in this humorous book. He is a weird but loveable boy and a fantastic show-off. His late father was a wacky doctor at the Hammersmith Hospital. His mother, Juliet, was a talented, controversial writer, almost as crazy as her common-law husband.

The book starts with a fire. Ephraim is orphaned when Juliet dies after breaking through a cordon of astounded firemen, to retrieve her latest manuscript.

Ephraim is cared for by his aunt Miranda, Juliet's sister, who is married to a surly Harley Street dentist, neither proficient at his trade, nor his commitments between the sheets.

Blind drunk, even when wielding his air rotor drill, which often penetrates tongues instead of cavities, he staggers home and finds Miranda fornicating with Juliet's sex-bomb publisher, Ian Rosen.

Dentist and publisher brawl like Rottweilers on the marital bed, while Ephraim jumps up and down, singing The Dentist and the Printer Should Be Friends. The dentist comes to a pretty bad end and Rosen marries Miranda.

Rosen is the hero of this book. He is strong, vibrant and sexy. This irresistible hunk and selfless saint saturates Juliet's insecure, difficult son with unreserved love and restores his happiness.

Both man and boy have had sadness in their lives. They are fiercely bonded by a loathing for religion and the denial of a deity.

Later on, comes a jolting and unexpected twist. Rosen is given staggering information about Ephraim and his attitude towards the boy changes dramatically. Even so, the story is a barrel of laughs, throughout, despite its less jocular and powerfully moving ending.

"Undoubtably the most ennobling book ever to have been written in the English language!"
The Author

"Eleanor Berry's The Rendon Boy to the Grave is Gone makes for fascinating and extraordinary reading, as strange and entertaining as her sixteen books which came out before it."
Gaynor Evans - Bristol Evening Post.

"The Rendon Boy to the Grave is Gone is a riveting, grimly humorous, erotic, unputdownable book. Ian Rosen, its dark, dominant, aggressively secular hero and randy publisher, seems to be permanently bounding from bed to bed like an out of control Labrador."
Roger Taverner - Western Daily Press.

"To me it is as beautiful and tender and frail as the naked self."
Exactly what D. H. Lawrence would have said, had he lived long enough to be able to review it.

"It's the steamiest book I've ever read, mate! I had to go home and change my clothes, didn't I ?"
Joe from Soho (London cab driver).

"My mate could hardly walk . The book's a right knock-out." Jack - Joe's best mate.
