Mar 18, 2009 Katie rated it really liked it

I've read the earlier books in the Pop Larkin series and went on a hunt for this one (found it in the lovely ramshackle secondhand bookshop, Badger Books in Worthing)for purely escapist reasons. It delivered in bucketloads - bucketloads of champagne, brandy, roast chicken, rare beef, and jellies as wobbly as Ma Larkin. Not a lot happens but what do you want to happen when you can bask in the Kent sunshine in the glorious tumble of the Larkins'immodestly blooming garden. Perfick.

This is the final novel of the Pop Larkin series and to me this book was a great disappointment. I realise that Herbert E Bates was almost 70 years old when he wrote this book. He had seen two World Wars and had fought in the second one of the two. He had seen an old England disappear where the privileged classes had to leave their country homes and sell them to nouveau rich from London. The upper classes walking around in rags and not being able to make ends meet. He had seen old traditions fly This is the final novel of the Pop Larkin series and to me this book was a great disappointment. I realise that Herbert E Bates was almost 70 years old when he wrote this book. He had seen two World Wars and had fought in the second one of the two. He had seen an old England disappear where the privileged classes had to leave their country homes and sell them to nouveau rich from London. The upper classes walking around in rags and not being able to make ends meet. He had seen old traditions fly out the window, the countryside that he so much loved, change in more ways than one. It is an old man that writes this book. My first thought was a dirty old man with sexual fantasies beyond what most people "dream of". With his last book I am sure he wanted to show what excessive eating and drinking will lead to. And he also wanted to point out the liberal sexual views that was by then flourishing. But, does this make good, nice, cozy reading?
When I read the first book I was shocked at the eccentric ways of the Larkin family. But it was something one could laugh at and say was in a way funny. This final book is not funny. It is not cozy. It is not a book I would let my children pick up to read when teenagers and it is definitely not a book for a person with Victorian values or a prude.
The book starts out with Ma and Pop Larkin having sex twice drinking champagne mixed with brandy in between, one early morning in July. The couple now being in their 40s, one wonders at Pop's stamina and not even being on Viagra. A 70-year-old author's dream perhaps? When they are ready to go for it a third time, Pop gets a heart attack. And for the better part of the book we get to read the depressing thoughts of his as he recovers slowly in his bedroom at home. He is put on a diet and can not touch alcohol and to his great sorrow he can not even get "aroused" by all his beautiful female visitors and his nurse that is a beauty beyond words. When we are not reading about him we read about Primrose, his now about 20-year-old daughter, trying to seduce the vicar and finally succeeding. And intermixed with all this is the talk and discussion about the Pill. The book is a very sad finale to the series. Pop survives and without a doubt will go back to his drinking, excessive eating and his very active sex life with his wife and various other female creatures that find him irrisistable. But when I turn the last page that declares that Primrose is pregnant out of wedlock with the vicar that is anti-Pill, then I say good riddence. Thank heaves there is no sequel. The book is nothing but soft porn and I would not have touched it, had I not felt the need for conclusion. ...more

In the final and longest of the Darling Buds of May, Pop takes a turn for the worst and uncharacteristically spends most of this time laid up in bed with some sort of heart problem, whilst the rest of the cast take centre stage. Pop soon rouses though when the future of the modern world attempts to uproot the Larkins forever.

The Pop Larkin Chronicles are the quintessential feel good, detached country-bound romp. Well known by the popular tv series starring David Jason and introducing a young Ca ...more

my rating would be just over 3 stars i think - definitely not as good as the previous ones in the series but this final novel in the pop larkin series of stories is still a nice easy read is all of HE Bates novels.
however unlike the others where the stories revolve around a lead character (and family) who is full of the joys of living, this time around a heart attack has grounded pop larkin and he is generally depressed if not melancholic in mood for most of the story.
the ending which suddenly i my rating would be just over 3 stars i think - definitely not as good as the previous ones in the series but this final novel in the pop larkin series of stories is still a nice easy read is all of HE Bates novels.
however unlike the others where the stories revolve around a lead character (and family) who is full of the joys of living, this time around a heart attack has grounded pop larkin and he is generally depressed if not melancholic in mood for most of the story.
the ending which suddenly introduced the threat of new roads being built to link to the proposed channel tunnel and the subsequent destruction to the area of the larkin's farm and local village had the potential to be a novel in its own right - and considering that the novels are not very long anyway should have been - but it dealt with this new threat in a couple of chapters only.
so perhaps the author had grown tired of these characters or thought that the publisher and reading public had out grown the larkins and their circle of friends.
after all the actions and attitudes of the family which were shocking in the 1950's and early 1960's (although being prescient in many ways of how the british family would change and evolve in the future) were quite ho-hum after the cultural/sexual revolutions of the late 1960's.
so by 1970 their casual (or earthy as described in the novels) attitudes to sex and relationships had moved from 'shocking' to simply 'shockingly familiar to readers of some sunday papers'.
and whereas the possible pregnancy of mariette in the first book was something accidental/normal and the family would deal with it, in this novel the pursuit of Rev Candy by Primrose and the resulting announcement of pregnancy despite the ready availability of 'the pill' does read as something slightly 'icky' (for want of a better term).
overall the novel and author seem to be saying that the life style enjoyed by the larkins in the 1950's was acceptable and a good way to live but continuing unchecked with no changes by the 1970's had simply become a life of excesses which caused problems all around.
this novel does feel like a sad end to the series and although not a fan of series continued after the death of their creator, i do think it is a pity that there wasn't/isn't a final story showing Pop Larkin back on his feet and back to his normal cheerful self and also showing proper resolutions to the roads/tunnel and Primrose/Rev Candy story lines.
[edit] chatting about this with a friend I was reminded of the changes to a series of British films which ran from the late 1950’s into the 1970’s - the Carry On films. As with the pop Larkin novels the early films were funny and had few innuendos in them and reflected society as it was. As the sixties progressed society changed and the humour in the films became less seaside postcard innuendo and more direct bawdy material and i think that the same effects are seen in the Larkin novels. Rather than write what could be seen as perhaps old fashioned and a bit stuffy novels HEBates tried to update his style in line with the newish trends. And like the carry on films does not really succeed so that despite still enjoying later works they feel a bit like someone trying too hard to fit in. ...more

"Improvement makes straight roads; but the crooked roads without Improvement are the roads of Genius"' (Penguin, 1985, p.171).

Humorously written with aplomb, Bates's foray into the comic world of the Larkins takes a grave turn in this, the last of his Larkin Saga. Perhaps the first and last of the five-book series are the best - but I shall have to re-read the previous, because I got so much out of this outing.

Known for his beautiful evocation of both a nostalgic English countryside where hamlet "Improvement makes straight roads; but the crooked roads without Improvement are the roads of Genius"' (Penguin, 1985, p.171).

Humorously written with aplomb, Bates's foray into the comic world of the Larkins takes a grave turn in this, the last of his Larkin Saga. Perhaps the first and last of the five-book series are the best - but I shall have to re-read the previous, because I got so much out of this outing.

Known for his beautiful evocation of both a nostalgic English countryside where hamlets may have gone but villages still thrived, and the next town was most people's horizon of life, Bates also wrote about a vanishing world almost Dickensian in its make-up, of the still-Victorian hardship of shoemakers (The Feast Of July [1954]), of the passing of the great aristocratic houses of the leather towns (Love For Lydia [1952], The Distant Horns Of Summer [1967]), and a spate of superb war stories, the best of which, the war romance Fair Stood The Wind For France (1944), is calling to me again. In them all he captures a world then vanishing, now almost gone, like A Moment In Time (1964), His painting of the idyll of the English countryside is only equalled by a few similarly nostalgic evocations, such as Flora Thompson's Lark Rise To Candleford (1945) and Laurie Lee's Cider With Rosie (1959), any Hardy, and perhaps D.H. Lawrence.

But in his Larkin series (with the sound of a combination of high jinks and birdsong), while jovially insouciant, he captured the quintessence of rural Kentish life that reminds me of the days of my own childhood summers, when mum would bundle us off with dozens of other women on a bus to pick the apples of the Essex countryside in late summer, and my brother and I would wander into secret worlds, picking mushrooms the size of frying pans, only to see them shrink to the size of side plates once in them. In this series, summer always reigns, bright, uplifting and cheerful as Pop's very philosophy of life, an excess only bettered by Ma's girth and laughter. And a clutch of memorable characters trail in obeisance about the enormous Larkin family, whom Pop never fails to win over: Angela Snow, the eccentric Brigadier, 'a bit of the real, old, vanishing England, a relic of the old imperial' (p.96), Edith Pilchester, caught between God and a suppressed passion, and the now-family former tax inspector, 'Charley' Charlton. With Mariette and now Primrose in the picture, even the local vicar isn't safe.

Nor are we from a little incipient racism, which is a disappointment. It's all meant to imply that Pop gets over-excited by certain kinds of women, and him having just had a heart attack, and all, it's perhaps best not to tempt. And the new nurse, a burnished Australian, might well become a veritable danger upstairs. It all gets a bit Bernard Manning for a mo. But we're not dealing primarily with country gentry, here (they're off shooting pheasant, and occasionally, accidentally, each other). No, this is an awkward moment, and of its time, before positive discrimination and political correctness. Or just mere polite sensitivity. It's probably the booze talking. Even so... Moving on...

The principal sub-plot is Primrose's courtship of the tortuously suffering Reverend Candy. There's a discreetly amusing reprise of cider with Rosie, and he's caught. Willingly, mind. And a vignette of the poor Edith's visit to the pub, believing the rumours that Pop is gone by stroke, and sleeping all the way home in an unsuitable but convenient conveyance. Well, it's happened to us all. Alcohol, of course, is - strike, was - one of Pop's excesses, and they're all banned now. It takes Ma a while to adjust, but she doesn't stop the cooking and baking, and the briefest of mention of cheese straws still warm from the oven nearly made me go out and scour the town. But there's also shortbread and scones, with the choice of apricot jam, lemon curd, or quince jelly. And these are just the snacks. No wonder, then...

Bates takes a pop at English jingoism. Targets are, as well as the invading upper- and upper-middle-classes into the countryside, and Wagnerian pomposity, everything pre-Europe: the Channel Tunnel, the Common Market, decimalisation, anti-Papism, all in line of fire of a fierce opposition to invasion of our Island. Not unfamiliar sentiments. (I myself regret the decimalisation of our gorgeous currency as an unnecessary foolhardiness). The village establishment expresses a fierce pride in the country's unadulterated beauty:

'There would always be an England... England was England; like the sun and the moon it was and always had been and ever more would be so... The meadows, the bluebell woods, the blackbirds, the nightingales, the lanes of hawthorn and primrose and meadowsweet, the cherry orchards, the pubs and the soft, sea-stroked air. These... we have loved' (pp.118-9).

These are the sentiments of those who had fended off the evil Hun in two world wars, especially the last, who had had instilled in them through fiercely patriotic rhetoric and the unconscionable real threat of invasion, an unshakeable nationalism not unexpected in a generation who had witnessed historic evils and who represented no less a political disenchantment we know today. Accommodating a new age was understandably not a natural inclination, a small 'c' conservatism that was clearly comprehensible, given our own resistance to change. Not all change is for the good, we know that too well. And the imminent threat to the Kent village of the Larkins was... well, you must read it.

This book also reminded of the wonder of the English language and its idioms: 'two schools of thought', 'distrait' (distracted due to anxiety), 'desultory' (random, sporadic, haphazard), 'getting over a bottle of plonk' (as in, getting through one) and many more. And also of more generic words which, when put together, painted a picture of sheer beauty:

'The air was rich with the scent of honeysuckle, wild clover and the thick odours of Spanish chestnut bloom from the great trees in the wood overhead' (p.109)

Once again, with his immense knowledge of British flora, I had to pop to the encyclopaedia occasionally. A Bates story isn't a Bates experience without such trips, which references pepper all his works, as indistinguishable from his style as the weather and woods and rivers always depicted. Can you imagine a country before motorways (1958), of the steam train still, when the country was full of thrushes? A mixed blessing, but details aside, it is a lost world Bates is describing, albeit this offering is late in the day and his writing career. It occurs that the cause and bitterness of Pop's gloom might well be autobiographical. Bates died four years later. But the rest of the Larkin Saga, the other four books, belong to the late '50s and '60s, and provide an oasis of a country life of summer in the county Bates was to live in, and which I briefly experienced, a kind of golden world, to me. His inspiration for The Darling Buds of May (1958) was a brief notice of such a family in the Kent countryside. This last of the series is a fond farewell, with not a little tristesse. ...more

Another good read (and the final one) in the Larkin chronicles.

This one feels less joyful than the previous ones though - mainly because this starts out with Pop suffering a heart attack (probably brought on by years of excessive food and drink consumption - you can tell these books weren't written in today's "health and safety" conscious days!) and then confined to bed whilst he recovers.

As the previous books have been full of Pop's lust for life, the contrast in this one where he feels despon ...more

Pop Larkins is back … but not quite as one may have expected. It is not the usual Pop Larking that can be seen in the Pop Larkins series. The Pop Larkins chronicles has been always been about the rollicking country life. The rural setting and its casual lifestyle had always captivated me.

Written 7 years after the previous book, it looks like the author had a bit of memory loss, because Ma and Pop’s grandson doesn’t get a mention.

The 5th part of HE Bates' stories of Pop Larking and his family. It retains all the charms of the earlier stories though the sub plot with Mr Candy was a little risque. Somehow along the road I realized I haven't read the fourth story/book Oh! To be in England.

After developing a heart problem, Pop had to live with the dismal news that alcohol in whatever shape or form was forbidden and the shock wave ended up with Miss Pilcher being taken home from the pub in a wheelbarrow. More shocks were to come until Pop rallied his friends to stop the last piece of England falling prey to developers. As usual a rattling good yarn with all the usual ingredients to be expected in a Larkin special.

I mean obviously this wasn't going to be as good as the others as a lot of it is about a man struggling with being near death, but you've got to love the rich, rich love of England and the countryside. Pop Larkin is a character for all time. And the new intrusion of English nationalist pride and bureaucratic folderol and imposition of the 60s into the life of the Larkins was fun and refreshing. A real treat to read in what have been very dark days.

Herbert Ernest Bates, CBE is widely recognised as one of the finest short story writers of his generation, with more than 20 story collections published in his lifetime. It should not be overlooked, however, that he also wrote some outstanding novels, starting with The Two Sisters through to A Moment in Time, with such works as Love For Lydia, Fair Stood the Wind for France and The Scarlet Sword e Herbert Ernest Bates, CBE is widely recognised as one of the finest short story writers of his generation, with more than 20 story collections published in his lifetime. It should not be overlooked, however, that he also wrote some outstanding novels, starting with The Two Sisters through to A Moment in Time, with such works as Love For Lydia, Fair Stood the Wind for France and The Scarlet Sword earning high praise from the critics. His study of the Modern Short Story is considered one of the best ever written on the subject.

He was born in Rushden, Northamptonshire and was educated at Kettering Grammar School. After leaving school, he was briefly a newspaper reporter and a warehouse clerk, but his heart was always in writing and his dream to be able to make a living by his pen.

Many of his stories depict life in the rural Midlands of England, particularly his native Northamptonshire. Bates was partial to taking long midnight walks around the Northamptonshire countryside - and this often provided the inspiration for his stories. Bates was a great lover of the countryside and its people and this is exemplified in two volumes of essays entitled Through the Woods and Down the River.

In 1931, he married Madge Cox, his sweetheart from the next road in his native Rushden. They moved to the village of Little Chart in Kent and bought an old granary and this together with an acre of garden they converted into a home. It was in this phase of his life that he found the inspiration for the Larkins series of novels -The Darling Buds of May, A Breath of French Air, When the Green Woods Laugh, etc. - and the Uncle Silas tales. Not surprisingly, these highly successful novels inspired television series that were immensely popular.

His collection of stories written while serving in the RAF during World War II, best known by the title The Stories of Flying Officer X, but previously published as Something in the Air (a compilation of his two wartime collections under the pseudonym 'Flying Officer X' and titled The Greatest People in the World and How Sleep the Brave), deserve particular attention. By the end of the war he had achieved the rank of Squadron Leader.

Bates was influenced by Chekhov in particular, and his knowledge of the history of the short story is obvious from the famous study he produced on the subject. He also wrote his autobiography in three volumes (each delightfully illustrated) which were subsequently published in a one-volume Autobiography.

Bates was a keen and knowledgeable gardener and wrote numerous books on flowers. The Granary remained their home for the whole of their married life. After the death of H. E Bates, Madge moved to a bungalow, which had originally been a cow byre, next to the Granary. She died in 2004 at age 95. They raised two sons and two daughters.
