Originally published in the 1930s and 1940s and never before collected, these stories by the incomparable Angela Thirkell relate merry scenes of a trip to the pantomime, escapades on ice, a Christmas Day gone awry, and an electrifying afternoon for Laura Morland and friends at Low Rising, not to mention the chatter of the arty set at a London private view. Charming, irreverent and full of mischievous humour, they offer the utmost entertainment in any season of the year.

Charming, very funny indeed. Angela Thirkell is perhaps the most Pym-like of any twentieth-century author, after Pym herself

These stories are a seasonal delight ... they will provide hours of laugh-out-loud enjoyment for all ages
Pippa Wright, author of The Foster Husband
To be so witty and charming yet also so brilliantly brusque and practical as Laura Morland is my new year's resolution
- Stylist
Laugh-out-loud funny and filled with memorable and realistically flawed characters
