This is a cult book, for all the right reasons. By cult I mean a book that over the last 40 odd years somehow always ends up on the "smart" shelves.
It is superbly written, very very funny and a pure joy. The names of the characters, typically english and upper class (perfect for a family of upwardly mobile ape-men) are a touch of genius.
A very modern book too, in the way it teaches us that things never, really, change. So you find that to share the secret of fire is just like disclosing your nuclear secrets...
I shall never forget uncle Vania, the ape man who wants to stay ape, and abhors all that modern stuff! (like cooking) only to always somehow invite himself to dinner.
