Items related to Diary of a Provincial Lady (Prion humour classics)
Synopsis
This is a gently self-effacing, dry-witted tale of a long-suffering and disaster-prone Devon lady of the 1930s. A story of provincial social pretensions and the daily inanities of domestic life to rival George Grossmith's Diary of a Nobody.

Review
I finished the book in one sitting, leaving the children unbathed, dogs unwalked, a husband unfed, and giving alternate cries of joy and recognition throughout (Jully Cooper)
I reread, for the nth time, E. M. Delafield's dry, caustic Diary of a Provincial Lady, and howled with laughter (India Knight)
Glorious, simply glorious (DAILY TELEGRAPH)
She converts the small and familiar dullness of life into laughter (The TIMES)
Book Description
A very funny and acutely observed account of Edwardian domestic life.
