The Cuthbert Series.

The whole idea of the Cuthbert series is to make you laugh, we all meet some strange characters in our lives and the one's I have met are the basis for these books.
Cuthbert is the grey man, nobody notices him and if he stood near to the bodies he would be the first one to be buried.
Percy is a master of invention, usually of his own skills and qualifications and according to him his ancestors have saved all our ancestors from some pretty bad scrapes.
Then there are the strangers who move into the valley only to be absorbed into this strangely calm place where the ridiculous becomes the completely normal.
