This is the third book in Peter Kerr's award-winning pentad of fun-filled Mallorcan travelogues, which also includes Snowball Oranges, Manana Manana, A Basketful of Snowflakes and From Paella to Porridge. Autumn has arrived for the intrepid Scots family on their little orange farm in the Tramuntana Mountains. It's what local country folk call the 'season of winter spring', and we find Peter, under the sharp eye of his long-suffering wife Ellie, struggling to shake off the relaxed Spanish tranquiloness he has now mastered all too well. When the Kerrs are introduced to Mallorca's champagne-swilling filthy-rich set, their eyes are opened by just how the other half lives. But their feet remain firmly on the ground. Mosquito-repellent vinegar baths, the island's simply-delicious cuisine, and background support from friends old and new, dogs, donkeys, parrots and canaries all help make this an autumn such as they've never known - Viva Mallorca!
