No, not a tale of homosexual marine life, just a different meaning as to when it was written in 1944. The "Gay Dolphin" is the name of a (fictional) pub set in the town of Rye, Sussex. I loved this book - it's a well-written, good old-fashioned yarn with a tight plot. I am being frightful, I know; but I especially enjoyed the "wizard" language where the villains are "beastly", the soup is "ghastly" and where the adults are left to get on with their after-dinner smoke.There are also some great descriptions and interesting stories about Rye and Winchelsea. I haven't been before but I'd be curious to see the real places.I say, I'd recommend this book any time!
