Description

Amazon.com review: "Unparalleled memoirs of Victorian and Edwardian England. The author of Mapp and Lucia roves back to the days of pincushions and paperweights, of Floral Lotto and soulful renditions of 'The Lost Chord.' He starts with a picture of Queen Victoria and then unfolds the oddities of his own family and their social circle. Gladstone packs a sponge bag, Tennyson talks of braces, Whistler challenges Moore to a duel, and so on." v, 306 p., 22 cm.
