Michael Simkins' immensely charming stage adaptation of Dear Lupin, the witty and touching collection of letters from a father to his son that became a huge bestseller, winner of The Sunday Times Humour Book of the Year.
Roger Mortimer's hilarious, touching, and always generous letters to his son, Charlie, are packed with crisp anecdotes and sharp observations. Spanning twenty-five years, their correspondence forms a memoir of their relationship, and an affectionate portrait of a time gone by.
Dear Lupin was adapted for the stage by best-selling author and actor Michael Simkins, revealing many more undocumented stories of the trials and tribulations of Charlie's youth and adulthood.
The play toured the UK in 2015, before a run in the West End at the Apollo Theatre, starring real-life father and son James Fox and Jack Fox.

Review As well as being the funniest book I've read in ages, it's also extremely touching. A delight then, on every front. The Spectator By turns exasperated, affectionate, touching and wry, the letters brim with a father's love for his son. An absolute delight. Daily Mail ...this book makes you cry as well as laugh. -- Charles Moore Daily Telegraph These hilarious missives from an eccentric father to an errant son have all the playful oddity of the Dear Bill letters. Sunday Times Very, very funny. Sunday Times In an era when letter writing is a vanishing art form, this idiosyncratic collection from a father to his errant son is a delight. Telegraph Herein is comedy gold... a delight, a labour of fatherly love in which a deep if slightly exasperated affection is always legible between the lines. Racing Post Affectionate... a poignant biography. Oldie Entirely delightful: funny, wise and full of insights into the relationship between fathers and sons. The Lady Witty and affectionate. Letter writing might be a dying art, but this book proves what a glorious art it is. Tatler Wry trenchant, often extremely funny, but also charmingly forbearing and forgiving. Country Life An examination of the father/son relationship and a snapshot of 1960s and 1970s society in all its contemporaneous freshness... never loses its ability to make the reader laugh. Country Life 'these often exasperated but hilarious letters should be required reading by all young things who think they know better. Charlie says this book is a tribute to his father and what a fine tribute it is. Roger's optimism in the most unpromising of circumstances will stay with you long after his last delightful letter is read.' The Sunday Express

This book proves, rather conclusively, that the world would be more pleasant if the baby boomers had listened to and obeyed their parents. huzzah for the WW2 generation with its silence, smoking, drinking and general carrying on. no hugs just get on with.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. An exasperated father By The One Who Reads Roger Mortimer's letters to his son, Charlie, written over a period of twenty five years, are full of gems such as "In those happy days we had a chauffeur called Percy Samuel Woods who committed suicide by lying face downwards in a large puddle. Talk about doing things the hard way!" or "Unfortunately I am rapidly becoming senile and my general health is deteriorating rather fast. Old age is full of surprises, most of them unpleasant, and is rather like being punished for a crime one has never committed".Always supportive, even when disapproving of his wild child, Roger Mortimer's intelligence, literacy and profound love for his son shine out from this delightful collection of letters.This would make a wonderful present for anyone with an interest in family relationships, a sense of humour or a soft spot for the Pooter family.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. What a lovely Dad By janet leigh Absolutely marvellous. A cross between PG Wodehouse and the obituaries of colourful military men. The novel is epistolary - letters from Roger Mortimer to his son Charles. Charles is a reprobate , but the affection his father has for him, his tolerance, his irony, his humour and his love are palpable. It is just so funny, and Roger is a lovely man.it also gives us an inkling of upper middle class society in the 50's.I am going to recommend it to all my friends. i loved it.
