Description

A gorgeous new package, reissued for the 70th anniversary of the first publication of The Pursuit of Love by Hamish Hamilton In print together, in one volume, are ALL eight of Nancy Mitford's sparklingly astute, hilarious and completely unputdownable novels. 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.
