A fun and festive tale by the author of Love in a Cold Climate

The formidable, fox-hunting obsessed Lady Bobbin has put together a Christmas house party at Compton Bobbin. This includes her rebellious daughter Philadelphia, the girl's pompous suitor, a couple of children obsessed with newspaper death notices, and an aspiring writer whose deadly (in more ways than one) serious first novel has been acclaimed as the funniest book of the year, much to his utter dismay.

And then there is the beautiful ex-courtesan Amabelle Fortescue and her group of guests, staying in a nearby cottage...

As the house parties begin to unravel, so do the jokes increase. This is Nancy Mitford's second novel and one of her earliest forays into the world of the Bright Young Things.
