From the Publisher
She, of all the writers I have ever read, has given me over the years the most complete satisfaction - Noel Coward -
She had an economy of phrase, and an unparalleled talent for evoking hot summer days in the English countryside - Noel Streatfield -
A charming and brilliantly entertaining novel... shot through with the light-hearted Nesbit touch - Penelope Lively, from the introduction -
To come upon any Nesbit today, hitherto unread, ...is like receiving a letter from a friend whom you have believed dead - - New York Times
A wry, charming delight of a book - - The Pool
