About This Item
Hamish Hamilton, London., 1949. First edition. Octavo. 284 pages. A comic novel, on the first page of which the author shamelessly reveals one of the jealously-guarded secrets of the secondhand booktrade in which she worked (albeit at an exalted level).A few spots to fore-edge. Very good in very good, slightly creased dustwrapper, designed by Roger Furse, chipped at the head of the spine and with several nicks. Has become scarce in presentable condition.
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.
