When John decamps to France to start up as an antiques dealer, he doesn’t count on meeting Serge Bastarde. The lovable rogue offers to teach John the tricks of the trade in return for help in a series of unscrupulous schemes. Filled with eccentric characters and unlikely adventures, this is a hilarious romp through the real rural France.
It would have been churlish to have refused his invitation to accompany him on
a trip to ‘forage for hidden treasures’. If the truth be known, I secretly couldn’t resist the novelty of passing time with a bloke called Serge Bastarde.
