<DIV><I>Captain Bennett&rsquo;s Folly</I> is a direct descendant of Fleming&rsquo;s earlier comic novels, <I>Colonel Effingham&#39;s Raid</I> and <I>Lucinderella</I>. Like them, there is a narrator&mdash;in this case Walker Williams&mdash;who reports an adventure replete with rogues and innocents, while making an artful, funny and wistful case about the immorality of our times. Walker spins out a tale of how he and his hedonistic family journey to the Florida Keys during the hurricane season in order to prevent rich Uncle Nolan Bennett&mdash;&ldquo;pushing eighty but not pushing very hard&rdquo;&mdash;from marrying his young housekeeper and supplanting them as his legitimate heirs. The scheming relatives, however, have a tough adversary in the eccentric Uncle Nolan, and his struggles to escape from their manipulation are at the core of Fleming&rsquo;s yarn.<BR /></DIV>
