Twenty-Odd Ducks: Why, Every Punctuation Mark Counts! Westwood With One Lousy Free Packet of Seed Westwood   Published originally in 1946, this charming and funny novel by Stella Gibbons concerns the heartache of the 21-year-old Margaret Steggles, who idolises the preposterous playwright Gerard Challis. Packed with great characters and period atmosphere (it’s set in Highgate in 1943), it was Gibbons’s own favourite among her twenty-odd novels. I adapted it for radio in 2004 as a two-part Classic Serial (with Juliet Aubrey and Rosemary Leach), and was very pleased when BBC 4 Extra repeated it to coincide with publication of the new Vintage edition.   site and contents © Lynne Truss 2006 site by pedalo limited
