Description

n print together for the first time in many years, and here in one volume, are ALL eight of Nancy Mitford's sparklingly astute, hilarious and completely unputdownable novels, with a new introduction by India Knight. HIGHLAND FLING (1931) CHRISTMAS PUDDING (1932) WIGS ON THE GREEN (1935) PIGEON PIE (1940) THE PURSUIT OF LOVE (1945) LOVE IN A COLD CLIMATE (1949) THE BLESSING (1951) DON'T TELL ALFRED (1960) Published over a period of 30 years, they provide a wonderful glimpse of the bright young things of the thirties, forties, fifties and sixties in the city and in the shires; firmly ensconced at home or making a go of it abroad; and what the upper classes really got up to in peace and in war.
