Paperback. Condizione: Good. Presenting Nancy Mitford ? A Portrait (2002) by Harold Acton , published by Gibson Square Books ?a social-season snapshot developed in deliciously dry wit. ISBN: 0198605617 . This copy comes from the gloriously immodest modesty of Crappy Old Books , graded Condition: Good ?meaning elegantly handled, faintly gossiped over, and still perfectly poised for a second debutante ball on your bookshelf. What?s inside? Acton?bon vivant, Bright Young Thing, and someone who knew where the good sofas were?offers a portrait of Nancy Mitford that feels like being escorted through a salon with the best gossip at a volume your grandmother would call ?audible but tasteful.? Expect cameo appearances by titled cousins, glamorous exiles, literary frenemies, and the occasional dog with more breeding than the guest list. This is social history as highly competent mischief : sharp as a hat pin, light as a meringue, and surprisingly nourishing. You?ll find: Nancy in focus ?novelist, satirist, and part-time referee of the grand U vs. non-U debate, here seen at close range and from the flattering angle of friendship. Paris years and English afterglow ?silk wallpaper, brisk letters, and jokes sharp enough to cut the ribbon on a new embassy. The work behind the glitter ?how a deft hand turned foibles into fiction ( The Pursuit of Love , Love in a Cold Climate ), and why the punchlines land with the soft thud of recognition. The Acton vantage ?insider without sycophancy, affectionate without blinkers; the tone is: ?Let me tell you a story, but first a martini.? About this particular volume: Good means the dust jacket is still pulling its weight, the corners remain politely square, and the spine has been opened with the measured enthusiasm of someone who knows the value of a well-timed epigram. No coffee catastrophes, no margin tantrums?just the dignified patina of being read in rooms with adequate lamps. Buy it if you?ve ever: Suspected that the best satire is simply truth in better shoes . Wanted the insider?s guide to a tribe for whom small talk is a martial art and big talk is a faux pas. Needed a passport to the world where letters are literature and nicknames are legally binding. Believed that biography should sparkle and still know where the receipts are filed. Why Harold Acton ? Because he writes as if he?s slipping you the seating plan and the subtext at the same time. Why Gibson Square Books ? Because they package elegance without starch. And why Crappy Old Books ? Because under the cheerfully self-sabotaging sign sits a reliable trove of actually rather good books, like this Good copy?perfectly seasoned, not remotely shabby, and ready to whisper ?mitfordian? to your better instincts. In short: a bright, waspish, affectionate portrait of Nancy Mitford by someone who knew how the chandelier was wired. Delivered in Good condition from Crappy Old Books , where the only thing ?crappy? is the name and the only scandal is how quickly you?ll finish the photo section. …
