Father Neil's Monkeyshines (Bless Me, Father #6)
by Neil BoydAll-new stories featuring the &“wonderful, real, lovable characters&” of St. Jude&’s, in the series that inspired the beloved British sitcom Bless Me, Father (James Herriot). Based on the author&’s real-life experiences as a young clergyman, the five books in the Bless Me, Father series offer a sweet-natured, humorous look at Catholicism in the 1950s. Father Neil&’s adventures at St. Jude&’s parish in London with its raucous congregation full of Irish immigrants proved so popular they were adapted into a long-running British sitcom. Now, in these eleven previously unpublished stories, readers have the opportunity to reacquaint themselves with young Father Neil, the irascible Father Duddleswell, the sharp-tongued housekeeper Mrs. Pring, and more colorful parishioners. A young couple hoping to adopt twins gets more they bargained for; a foundling is abandoned like Moses—in a confessional; an honored infantry sergeant returns from the battlefield physically, emotionally, and spiritually scarred; a modern-thinking new curate creates a distraction by being far too handsome; and an unexpected new addition disrupts St. Jude&’s: Mario the monkey, who can test the patience of a saint. &“Carry on, Father!&” cheers the Dublin Evening Herald. And he does, with the same inspiring heavenly humor that has made Neil Boyd&’s long-running series such &“hilarious and compulsive reading&” (Catholic Herald).
Father Under Fire: Bless Me, Father; A Father Before Christmas; Father In A Fix; Bless Me Again, Father; And Father Under Fire (Bless Me, Father #4)
by Neil BoydFrom the series that inspired the hit London Weekend Television sitcom Bless Me, Father: A touching series of escapades from the always-rowdy parish of St. Jude's Located in West London, St. Jude's parish traditionally serves the poor Irish immigrants of the area, and the grouchy Father Duddleswell is an ideal leader for the group. Joining him is the young Father Neil, who serves as an even-keeled aide during the many times Duddleswell finds himself in hot water. This compendium of adventures is sure to delight fans of the series as St. Jude's adds another member to its clergy: Father Abe, an octogenarian with an agenda of his own. The St. Jude's staff finds themselves embroiled in a rivalry among undertakers, a visit during Holy Week from the bishop with the longest rosary on record, a harebrained scheme to promote holy water as a fertility enhancer, and a night spent under a pool table during a pilgrimage. Equal parts funny, sweet, and moving, Father Under Fire is a touching portrait of London in the early 1950s.

Father and Son
by E. O. PlauenFather and Son is one of the most beloved comic strips ever drawn—an uproarious, timeless ode to the pleasures, pitfalls, and endless absurdity of family life.Father and Son is a slyly heartwarming, dizzyingly inventive classic in the tradition of Calvin and Hobbes and The Simpsons. Created in 1934 by the German political cartoonist Erich Ohser (using the pseudonym E.O. Plauen after being blacklisted for his opposition to the Nazi regime), the gruff, loving, mustachioed father and his sweet but troublemaking son embark on adventures both everyday and extraordinary: family photoshoots and summer vacations, shipwrecks and battles with gangsters, a Christmas feast with forest animals and a trip to the zoo. Drawn almost entirely without dialogue, the strips overflow with slapstick, fantasy, and anarchic visual puns. Father and Son remains an uproarious, timeless ode to the pleasures, pitfalls, and endless absurdity of family life.This NYRC edition is an extra-wide hardcover with raised cover image, and features new English hand-lettering.
