Description
Captures 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.
Born into one of the aristocracy's more eccentric families and educated at home with a clutch of siblings, Mitford used childhood experience, lightly fictionalised, in her comic novels. She also wrote biographies, translated from the French and edited a celebrated symposium on English Aristocrats.
