    About this ebook

    Described as 'a zippy little farce' by The Guardian, When the Professor Got Stuck in the Snow is a laugh-out-loud satire on dogma.

    ‘A farce that spins like a carousel' Sunday Herald

    Everybody at the Women’s Institute in the village of Upper Bottom is eagerly awaiting the arrival of a very special guest speaker: the world famous evolutionary biologist Professor Richard Dawkins. But with a blizzard setting in, their visitor finds himself trapped in the nearby town of Market Horten, with no choice but to take lodgings with the local Anglican vicar. Will the professor be able to abide by his motto – cordiality always – while surrounded by Christians? Will he ever reach Upper Bottom? And can his assistant, Smee, save the day?

      Only really funny if you're aware of Richard Dawkins' social media presence and his spiral into insanity/trolling. Doesn't out stay its welcome and made me laugh out loud a number of times.
    • 5/5
      Dan Rhodes' take on the Englishness of the Womens Institute and small villages.
      Not sure if this is a dig at the well known atheist, but it is a very funny book!
      Very Highly Recommended.
      This digital book was given to be by the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest, unbiased review, which I am more than happy to give.
