Historical

Welcome to Downtrodden Abbey, whereΒ aΒ battle for the deed to the property is waged between legitimate aristocrats and literal pretenders to the throne.Β TheΒ Crawfish familyβ€”Marry, Supple, Enid, Lady Flora, and Lord Roderickβ€”are content wiling their days away withΒ naughtyΒ charades and twenty-two courseΒ dinners until the sinking of the Gigantic takesΒ down the next in line to inherit Downtrodden. Soon, cousin Isabich and her son, Atchew, the rightfulΒ heir to the Abbey, arrive to claim what's theirs.Β 

Downstairs, the servants are running amok, as crippled weaklingΒ Brace is aggressively courted byΒ teen hottie Nana, and lady's maid "Potatoes"Β O'Grotten and her flamboyant sidekick, Tomaine, cause troubleΒ at every turn.

The ensuing, insufferably overwrought melodrama takes the reader upstairs and downstairs, into parlours and drawing rooms, boudoirs and bathrooms, and across every classβ€”from the classiest to the classlessβ€”in the social pecking order of Edwardian England.

Uproariously funny, with a wicked sense of humor that DowntonΒ AbbeyΒ diehards will enjoy, Gillians Fetlocks skewers your favorite characters with panache in this winningΒ parody
