About This Item
London: Hamish Hamilton, 1949. A first edition, first printing published by Hamish Hamilton in 1949. A near fine book without inscriptions in a very good unclipped wrapper with shallow chipping to the head of the spine. Light loss to the corners and a little to the spine tail. Some creasing and a little soiling to the rear panel.
Synopsis
In one of the wittiest novels of them all, Nancy Mitford casts a finely gauged net to capture perfectly the foibles and fancies of the English upper class. Set in the privileged world of the county house party and the London season, this is a comedy of English manners between the wars by one of the most individual, beguiling and creative users of the language.
