Hilarious, high-society Christmas escapades and romance.

If you fancy a Christmas story that's far from the classic cozy by the fire, "Christmas Pudding" is an excellent pick. Nancy Mitford's wit sparkles in this romp through a disorganized holiday at Lady Bobbin's estate. The characters are endearingly flawed, and the satirical take on high-society festivities will provide plenty of chuckles. Plus, Mitford's insights on love and fidelity are as sharp as they are entertaining. A delightful read when you're in the mood for humor laced with a dash of cynicism.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

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.
