Author Description

Mild panic. Moderate confusion. Maximum satire. In the hidden corridors of British bureaucracy, one department quietly keeps civilization from crumbling - not through heroics, but through aggressive filing, clipboard diplomacy, and a fierce devotion to Proper Food Etiquette. When rogue culinary rebels unleash a campaign of gastronomic chaos - from diagonally steeped tea to ketchup on roast lamb - it falls to Mr. Percival J. Penwiddle III, Flavia Blunt, and the mildly disgruntled staff of Department 4C to save tradition from collapse. Armed with staplers, tactical scones, and a deep-seated fear of unregulated condiments, the Ministry faces underground flavor uprisings, international toast scandals, and the horrifying rise of "Soupception." Can Penwiddle and his team prevent the collapse of breakfast - and perhaps British society itself - before it's too late? Full of sharp wit, absurd adventures, and a love letter to tradition both sensible and ridiculous, The Ministry of Mildly Alarming Affairs is a satirical romp for fans of Douglas Adams, Jasper Fforde, and anyone who's ever quietly judged a sandwich. Perfect for readers who enjoy: Quirky British humor Satirical takes on bureaucracy and society Culinary absurdity and inventive world-building Light-hearted dystopian comedy
