Five books up for grabs

Miles Jupp’s first novel has just been published – and we have five signed copies to give away to Chortle readers.

History is described as a satirical, tragicomic story about a man on the edge: private school teacher Clive Hapgood whose life is being made a misery by his wretched headteacher

The gentle country life he envisaged has stifled him and left his marriage on the brink. What he needs is a holiday - something to remind him and Helen what life used to be like. But when things don't go to plan, and an incident at school begins to weigh heavy on his head, Clive's life starts to unravel in front of him…

History has been well-received by critics with The Mail on Sunday noting that the comedian 'has fun skewering the absurdities of public-school life’.

It was released on Thursday by publishers Headline, but to stand a chance of winning one of our five signed copies, just answer the following question by midday on September 5 when we will select a winner at random from all correct answers received. Usual terms and conditions apply.

Good luck!
