diary of a provincial lady
Reviews
Aquila Chrysaetos
Macmillan's Collector's Library editions are such pretty little books. Her attempts to please everyone are accompanied by her inner thoughts which are often entertainingly in opposition.
Lady Boxe has no eyebrows! Was that a style then? The setting of the Diary is late 1920s English countryside.
This one is especially so with the colorful artwork on the jacket. There is charming line art which definitely looks like it is original to the first edition. I really enjoyed the humorous depictions of human foibles. I'm sure many reader will have met at least one or two of the personality types so expertly depicted herein.
It is such a fitting format for this title. This book feels a bit like a visit with the Provincial Lady where I've stayed long enough to get a feel for the tenor of the house.
