. .

Résumé :
Take a step back in time to the 1930s as this semi-autobiographical series chronicles the daily life of an upper-class lady. Presented as diary entries, these delightful novels delve into English countryside life and a provincial lady's many mishaps. In the depths of Devon, England, a disaster-prone, upper-class lady lives with her uncommunicative husband, their young children, a French nanny, the cook and a number of household servants. But this picture of perfect 1930s family life isn't all that it seems. Their grand house is never heated, the provincial lady is never dressed in the proper attire and she's rarely ever seen the latest show. In her self-depricating diary entries, the lady records her domestic disasters and embarrassing misadventures. E. M. Dalafield's books are charming, witty, immensely honest, and sure to make you laugh. This beautiful volume includes all of the books in The Provincial Lady Series: - Diary of a Provincial Lady - The Provincial Lady Goes Further - The Provincial Lady in America - The Provincial Lady in Wartime Read & Co. Classics is proud to have republished The Provincial Lady Series in this wonderful new collection, complete with a specially-commissioned author biography.
