  • Very entertaining

    Very entertaining read of real events. One bonus is this is two books in one, as it also contains "The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street" which for one reason or another they fail to inform. Both grow with reading again & again. Excellent.

  • A tale of times past.

    A beautiful, witty, compelling story of times past just after the war when England still under rationing was emerging from those dark days.

  • Bought for 18 yr old granddaughter

    I bought this for my granddaughter who is truly a bibliophile - she catalogues her books and loves them for themselves. I read it many years ago, before the film was produced, and thought that it would resonate with her, and so it has proved. I loved the old-fashioned, courteous tones, a reminder of days, sadly, gone, really a piece of modern history.
