Reviews
Aquila Chrysaetos
Was that a style then? This book feels a bit like a visit with the Provincial Lady where I've stayed long enough to get a feel for the tenor of the house. It is such a fitting format for this title.
This one is especially so with the colorful artwork on the jacket. I'm sure many reader will have met at least one or two of the personality types so expertly depicted herein. Macmillan's Collector's Library editions are such pretty little books. The setting of the Diary is late 1920s English countryside.
There is charming line art which definitely looks like it is original to the first edition. I really enjoyed the humorous depictions of human foibles.
Her attempts to please everyone are accompanied by her inner thoughts which are often entertainingly in opposition. Lady Boxe has no eyebrows!
