Dievča menom Nan Séria
Táto séria sleduje osudy Henryho Wilta, učiteľa, ktorému sa v živote príliš nedarí, či už v práci, kde čelí nezáujmu študentov, alebo v súkromí, kde ho dusí nenaplnené manželstvo. Jeho nudnú existenciu však narušia nečakané udalosti, ktoré ho nechtiac vtiahnu do dramatických situácií, vrátane policajného vyšetrovania a obvinenia z vraždy. Napriek všetkému si však dokáže poradiť s pomocou svojej fantázie a jedinečného pohľadu na svet. Ide o humoristické príbehy plné nečakaných zvratov a skvelého britského humoru.

Rendered an absolute twit in modern society by his medieval upbringing, Lockhart must resort to drastic tactics in his attempt to return to Flawse House. Faced with the horrors of suburbia, he must either terrorise, blackmail and potentially kill an entire street of his tenants, or attempt to find his unknown and elusive father in order to inherit the estate.However, with the belief that he was dropped into his mother's arms by a stork, killing a street of people may be the wiser option for the socially inept young man. He is also under mounting pressure, as it may all be in vain if his gold-digging mother-in-law has her way. Now the wife of Flawse Senior, she has decided that if Lockhart's wealthy grandfather can't have the decency to die on his own, she will take matters into her own hands.

Stuck in a job he doesn't want - but can't afford to lose - as nominal Head of the Communications Department at Fenland University, Wilt is still subject to the whims of The Powers That Be, both in and outside of work. The demands of his snobbish wife Eva, and the stupendous school fees of his despicable quadruplet daughters, cause him the biggest headaches... apart from the hangovers, that is. When Eva signs him up for a summer job, teaching the gun-toting idiot son of a lusty local aristocrat, Wilt is not amused. But, as circumstances unravel and the summer goes on, Wilt sees that the situation could be put to his financial advantage, as well as giving Eva some headaches of her own. With Tom Sharpe's famous dark humour in full evidence, and an explosive plot which takes its readers to places they never realised they wanted to visit, The Wilt Inheritance is another instant classic from the British master of farce.
