Wigs on the Green by Nancy Mitford is a hilarious satire of the
upper classes. Eugenia Malmains is one of the richest girls in
England and an ardent supporter of Captain Jack and the Union
Jackshirts; Noel and Jasper are both in search of an heiress (so
much easier than trying to work for the money); Poppy and Marjorie
are nursing lovelorn hearts; and the beautiful bourgeois Mrs Lace
is on the prowl for someone near Eugenia's fabulous country home at
Chalford, and much farce ensues. One of Nancy Mitford's earliest
novels, Wigs on the Green has been out of print for nearly
seventy-five years. Nancy's sisters Unity and Diana were furious
with her for making fun of Diana's husband, Oswald Moseley, and his
politics, and the book caused a rift between them all that endured
for years. Nancy Mitford skewers her family and their beliefs with
her customary jewelled barbs, but there is froth, comedy and heart
here too. 'Deliciously funny' Evelyn Waugh
