Mrs Peabody

By Ida Thompson

"A new form of fiction...a new form of publication" -National Book Award winner author John Barth called these 1973 obituaries contained in this fictional memoir by Ida Thompson.

Years of research is packed into this gently humorous history of the relationship between the US and UK. Mrs Peabody is a game, inside a game, inside a game, a mystery written as political satire, poking fun at both sides of the Atlantic.

After Pearl Harbor, Ida is employed by Richard Nixon at FDR's 1942 Office of Price Administration and discovers a fraud perpetrated by Nixon and his conspirators. Discovered, Nixon is sent to the Pacific, enters Congress after the war, and becomes a member of an ancient secret society known as OAP (The Order of the American People) formerly known as Ordo de Populo Anglii (est. 1352). Ida is the leader of the English Order that crossed the Atlantic in 1768 to avert the American Revolution.
