Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. First edition, first printing. Association copy signed by Nancy Mitford on the half-title page and inscribed to Alvilde Lees-Milne. 114 pp. Bound in publisher's red cloth-affect paper-covered boards, spine lettered in silver. Near Fine with foxing to textblock edges, endpapers, and prelims. In a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket with light wear, toning, and foxing. In 1955 the novelist Nancy Mitford published an article called "The English Aristocracy" on the identifying characters of the upper class to which she belonged. One year later, after a lively public debate, Mitford and her friends published this short collection of essays (and one poem) on the subject, illustrated by the cartoonist and set designer Osbert Lancaster. The prominent gardener Alvilde Lees-Milne, formerly Viscountess Chaplin, was a yet another close friend of Mitford, who once described her as "saintly." They all belonged to the intimate and exclusive world examined in this humorous little work of linguistic analysis and anthropology.
