«The Hippopotamus» is Stephen Fry's comic novel, published by Arrow Books Ltd in paperback (320 pages, in English).
Ted Wallace, a failed poet and grumpy, drink-loving theatre critic, loses his job at a newspaper. He takes refuge at Swafford Hall, the country mansion of his old friend Lord Logan, where supposed healings and miracles begin to disrupt the routine and challenge the protagonist's skepticism.
The action takes place in the Norfolk countryside; the novel was originally published in 1994 and this Arrow Books edition is from 1995.
For readers of British comedy and contemporary fiction who enjoy mystery and quirky characters.
