Rare Book
The sequel to her successful 'Diary of a Provincial Lady' - all books in the series are uncommon as first editions. Here, the success of the first book is referred to in the form of royalty cheques arriving, and whilst elements of the scenario remain the same, the narrator's social situation - aligned with the author's - has clearly progressed somewhat: her forays to the capital, and to France and Belgium, are recounted, as well as visits to the theatre and more mundane events. Delafield's trademark wit is gloriously intact.
1932, pp. vii, 311, crown 8vo, original blue cloth, backstrip lettered in gilt and slightly faded, slight lean to spine, gentle knock to top corner of upper board, very faint spotting to edges, dustjacket repeating Watts illustration to front panel, browned to backstrip panel and borders, chipped with a few faint waterspots, very good
