Beschreibung

<p><b><i>Wigs on the Green</i></b><b> by Nancy Mitford is a hilarious satire of the upper classes.</b><br><br> Eugenia Malmains is one of the richest girls in England and an ardent supporter of Captain Jack and the Union Jackshirts; Noel and Jasper are both in search of an heiress (so much easier than trying to work for the money); Poppy and Marjorie are nursing lovelorn hearts; and the beautiful bourgeois Mrs Lace is on the prowl for someone near Eugenia's fabulous country home at Chalford, and much farce ensues.<br><br>One of Nancy Mitford's earliest novels, <i>Wigs on the Green</i> has been out of print for nearly seventy-five years. Nancy's sisters Unity and Diana were furious with her for making fun of Diana's husband, Oswald Moseley, and his politics, and the book caused a rift between them all that endured for years. Nancy Mitford skewers her family and their beliefs with her customary jewelled barbs, but there is froth, comedy and heart here too.<br><br>'Deliciously funny' Evelyn Waugh</p>
