Penguin 1st Edition, published 1959.
A collection of essays on the identifiable characteristics of the English Aristocracy. A fascinating look not only into class and social history but also into how language evolves. Unabashedly snobbish and devastatingly witty, this book helped Mitford achieve enormous success and popularity as one of Britain's most piercing observers of social manners.
Condition grading: Good. Very light creases and light foxing to front cover. Line mark to rear cover. Very light wear to spine. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
