Book Synopsis
In this hilarious story of three brothers, Tom and his wife are about to adopt a baby. His brothers are anxious to help make a good impression on the woman from the agency who has arrived to check on the home and lifestyle of the prospective parents. Unfortunately Dick, who has stashed boxes of smuggled brandy and cigarettes in the house, and Harry, who is in possession of a cadaver he is planning to sell illegally to a medical school, fail miserably. The adoption agency representative is aghast - and the illegal Croatian aliens who do not speak English are no help at all!-3 women, 6 men

Trade Review
"This is a highly original, consistently inventive farce that depends on neither illicit hanky-panky nor dropped trousers for its humour. At its considerable best, it ranks amongst Cooney's finest, and frequently found me helpless with laughter." Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph "... the whole thing is hilarious, daft and utterly irresistible." John Peter, Sunday Times"
