Originally published in the 1930s and 1940s and never before collected,these stories by the incomparable Angela Thirkell relate merry scenes of a trip to the pantomime,escapades on ice,a Christmas Day gone awry,and an electrifying afternoon for Laura Morland and friends at Low Rising,not to mention the chatter of the arty set at a London private view. Charming,irreverent and full of mischievous humour,they offer the utmost entertainment in any season of the year.
