Fresh off their adventures in renovating the town of Mere Folly, a foursome of retirees set their sights even higher in this rollicking and rousing read from Alfie Anfield.\u003cbr\u003eThis crackling, quirky comedy is crammed with colourful characters who practically stand up and walk.\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the sequel to \"It's Mere Folly,\" with the base undoubtedly laid, the boys are well and truly out of retirement. Accomplishment adds a new dimension, suddenly they are of value again and It's not long before their plan of action expands. The boys' vision develops and goes not only beyond the streets of Mere Folly but nationally as they discover what is going on behind the scenes in the corridors of power. They take Mere Folly in an even more diverse direction mixing with the powers that be, pitting their wits with those supposedly in power, and using it to their advantage. With reprobates coming out of the woodwork they conjure up further opportunities. Humour abounds as in their own satirical, hardnosed way they tackle the treachery around them, but have they a softer side to their nature?\u003cbr\u003eWhen we last left Bert, Jim, Tom and Kev, the quartet of senior dynamos had just finished cleaning out city hall and wiping up the floor with pretty much every political and corporate stooge in town. But this merry band of retirees isn't about to spend its \"sunset years\" resting on its laurels or rocking away on a front porch. Nope! \"The boys\" are setting their sights - and their \"levity-o-meter\"- even higher in \u003ci\u003eMust Be Mere Folly\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eThen the Prime Minister is found guilty of a crime in the boys' fair town. Oops. The local judge is out to settle an old score. Double oops. With a criminal record hanging around his neck, the PM is chin-deep in impeachment trouble. And the opposition is licking its chops.\u003cbr\u003eThe ensuing political fallout opens a door for \"the boys.\" Never ones to look a gift business deal in the mouth, the quartet cooks up another stroke of genius: Creating \"a free state, something like Monaco or Andorra.\" They set out to do just that, and turn Mere Folly into a sovereign city state. Wait. Maybe Mere Folly should become an \"independent colony\" or a protectorate? Will it remain in the country or not? Hitch up with an overseas power? Become an empire? Havoc and hilarity ensue. So does romance...\u003cbr\u003eThis story is packed with masterful plot twists and clever ins and outs regarding government doings and bureaucracies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 218\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 13, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53429819703603,"sku":"9781093426984","price":27.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/TRfxxESy3V9781093426984.webp?v=1780646990","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/must-be-mere-folly-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
