Description: English novelist and essayist Nancy Mitford (1904-1973) trains her sharp and provocative wit on English and Foreign topics in this collection of her essays. First appearing in such publications as the Sunday Times, the New Statesman, and the Atlantic Monthly, these essays express her views on what is considered "chic" in England, France, and America, how to avoid tourists in Europe, a visit to Russia in 1954, reading for pleasure, and other wide-ranging subjects. Always amusing, often insightful, Nancy Mitford is not to be missed. This is the first American edition of this book. Good vintage condition. Dust jacket has edge wear and light soiling. Green cloth and tan boards have spots of foxing/staining. Text is clean and unmarked except for the signature of a former owner on the front free end paper.
