Bachelor Brothers' Bed and Breakfast

Settle in for an amusing visit with Hector and Virgil, the twin hosts of a rustic retreat, and their clientele of bookish and perhaps slightly confused storytellers. No one will forget the romantic (;even shocking); story of how the brothers were conceived, nor their motley inheritance -- a big house on a small island, a huge library, an aged, cussing parrot, and a dozen musical eggcups. The winner of the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour, Bachelor Brothers' Bed & Breakfast is narrated by the man who knows the place best: writer, broadcaster, and raconteur Bill Richardson. He first entertained listeners about the goings-on of Hector and Virgil on CBC Radio. Then he transformed his sketches into an international best-seller, and now they tickle the ear again.

Bill Richardson is known across the country as the host of Richardson's Round-up, heard daily on CBC Radio One. A writer, broadcaster and raconteur, Richardson originally wrote about the goings-on of Hector, Virgil, and company for broadcast on CBC Radio's Gabereau. He has published eight books, including two sequels to Bachelor Brothers' Bed & Breakfast: Bachelor Brothers' Bedside Companion and Bachelor Brothers' Bed & Breakfast Pillow Book.
