Summer Season records several anxious days in the life of Kenneth Crane, unemployed graduate.

Crane has taken a temporary post as tutor to the young son of a luminary in a small seaside town.

Crane finds life difficult enough, but almost intolerably so when he finds himself number-one suspect on a possible murder charge.

For the delectable Kitty du Chair, by even contemporary standards a remarkably advanced teen-ager, disappears.

She has been seen consorting with Crane. The police close in and Crane's behaviour becomes more erratic (and hilarious).

Summer Season is like a Jacques Tati film, having the same dream-like, almost surrealist quality.

The humour is infectious and will be caught by very many readers
