Darling Buds of May (Novel)

The Darling Buds of May is the name of the books written by H.E Bates. The books were published as seperate issues, an omnibus of the first three books and finally all together as The Pop Larkin Chronicles. While the TV series did film most of them, they did not film the final book as it was considered to not be in keeping with the uplifting themes from the previous books.

Darling Buds of May
The books opens with Pop giving out Ice Creams to his children, and one to Ma. When he asks Ma if she knows why Mariette is acting detached, she replies that Mariette is pregnant. This surprises Pop for a few moments. When they arrive home at the farm, Mariette spots a young man wondering about the yard. He introduces himself as Mr Charlton of the Inland Revenue - the Tax Man.
