With \u003ci\u003eThe Old Man and Me\u003c\/i\u003e, written when Dundy was living in England in the early 1960s, she tackles the American girl in London, a bit older but certainly no wiser. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Honey Flood (if that's her real name) arrives in London with only her quick wits and a scheme. To get what she wants, she'll have to seduce the city's brightest literary star, no matter how many would-be bohemians she has to charm, how many smoky jazz clubs she has to brave, or how many Lady Something-Somethings she has to humor.
