Like the original Darling Buds of May TV series, The Larkins will also be based on the popular novels by H.E. Bates. The Darling Buds of May is a lightning read – weighing in at a tiny 137p. I read it for an online book club that I’ve recently just joined and I have to say, it was not what I was expecting at all. I knew there was a TV adaptation some years ago, although I’ve never seen it. I’m not entirely sure what I was expecting but safe to say, this was not it. Bradley Walsh continues leading the cast as pop Larkin, the head of the household and at the heart of the antics.

Bates was a great lover of the countryside and its people and this is exemplified in two volumes of essays entitled Through the Woods and Down the River. Herbert Ernest Bates was an English author. The Northamptonshire-born writer was working as a journalist and clerk for a local newspaper before he published his first book, The Two Sisters, aged 20.
