The Hippopotamus by Stephen Fry
A disgraced poet and journalist, Ted Wallace, is invited to spend the summer at Swafford Hall, the grand estate of his old friend, Lord Logan. Tasked with uncovering the truth behind a series of miraculous healings rumored to have taken place there, Ted embarks on a journey filled with eccentric characters, witty banter, and unexpected revelations. As he delves deeper into the mysteries of the estate, Ted confronts his own cynicism and discovers that the line between the miraculous and the mundane is often blurred, leading to a humorous and thought-provoking exploration of belief, skepticism, and the human condition.
