 The Brandons Angela Thirkell introduction by Libby Purves Sweet as the scent of heliotrope and sharp as gooseberry fool, The Brandons features a host of unforgettable characters, from the beautiful but vague Mrs Brandon to fierce Aunt Sissie, bequeathing her frightful abbey (which no one wants) from her four poster bed. Romantic complications proliferate among her unwilling heirs. And there's still the Vicarage Fete to be enjoyed—or endured — before everything is gloriously resolved by one of our most wickedly funny authors. Angela Thirkell (1890-1961), related to Edward Burne-Jones, Stanley Baldwin and Rudyard Kipling, mother of Colin Maclnnes and Graham Mclnnes, was one of the most famous comic novelists of her day. Full of wonderful incidental detail about the 1930s world. This Hogarth Press paperback is in good condition. 283pp. Year first published: 1939 This edition:1988
Price: £1.09
