The first published novel by the era-defining Nancy Mitford, written in 1931. Albert Gates, a surrealist painter of impeccable family, is greatly given to outrageous pranks; Jane Dacre finds him quite irresistible though the elder members of the shooting party are less enraptured. His victims include Lady Prague, whom he haunts disguised as the castle ghost, and General Murgatroyd, who will never willingly shake hands with a foreigner. A brilliant literary comedy ensues when social worlds collide. Foreword by actor, writer, director and producer, Julian Fellowes.
