A small-sized but big-hearted collection for Christmas, from the author of The Pursuit of Love.

''Christmas Day was organized by Lady Bobbin with the thoroughness and attention to detail of a general leading his army into battle . . .''

The formidable fox-hunter Lady Bobbin is holding a Christmas house party. Attendees include her rebellious daughter Philadelphia, a pompous suitor, a couple of children poring over newspaper death notices, and a dejected writer whose first serious novel has been declared the funniest book of the year. Add to the mix beautiful ex-courtesan Amabelle Fortescue and her guests staying in a neighbouring cottage and you have a ribald tale of true love and false fidelity, hijinks and low morals, not to mention the consumption of a considerable quantity of Christmas spirit.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Nancy Mitford

Nancy Mitford nasceu em Londres em 1904, no seio de uma família aristocrata. Prosadora de rara elegância e malícia, a mais famosa das famosas irmãs Mitford (as "mad, mad Mitfords", como eram conhecidas na época) que escandalizaram a sociedade britânica nos anos 30 e 40 e mantinham contacto com gente como Winston Churchill ou Adolf Hitler, Nancy Mitford descreve a vida das classes altas inglesas e francesas num período que antecede e depois abrange a Segunda Grande Guerra; um universo de casas senhoriais geladas, de fidalgas, de lordes desavindos, de existências geridas pelo calendário das caçadas e dos debutes, de casamentos para a vida e amores de curta duração.
Aquela que já foi considerada a Jane Austen do século XX, socialista numa família apoiante da British Union of Fascists, morreu em 1973, em Versalhes. É hoje uma autora de culto.
