Baxter's Winning Ticket (Paperback)

Baxter Bixley (Two Xs if you please) wins 16 million pounds on the National Lottery. So begins the transition from shop sweeper to multi-millionaire. Not only that but Baxter, unwanted and friendless, finds true companionship in the shape of an aged and diminutive pensioner called Hugo Harper. Together they share a series of adventures that stretch from his end-of-terrace house in Neasden to Venice, Milan and Monte-Carlo. Hugo and Baxter meet many people on their travels including such illustrious names as Lana Turner, Rex Harrison and Alfred Hitchcock. Jane Eyre and James Cagney together with a baby called Dolores and another baby called David Copperfield join in en route as does a fluffy dog aptly named Fluffy. Ava Gardner and The Queen have walk on parts as does Roy Rogers and Tony Blair. It could be true. But I doubt it!
