Synopsis

Tono-Bungay is a realist semiautobiographical novel narrated by George Ponderevo, who is persuaded to help develop the business of selling Tono-Bungay, a patent medicine created by his ambitious uncle Edward. George devotes seven years to organising the production and manufacture of a product which he believes to be 'a damned swindle'. He then quits day-to-day involvement with the enterprise in favour of aeronautics.
