Christmas Pudding Av Nancy Mitford

<p><b>Make a loved one smile with this classic Christmas read - a perfect stocking filler!</b><br><br><i><b>''Christmas Day was organized by Lady Bobbin with the thoroughness and attention to detail of a general leading his army into battle . . .''</b></i><br><br>The formidable fox-hunter Lady Bobbin is holding a Christmas house party. Attendees include her rebellious daughter Philadelphia, a pompous suitor, a couple of children poring over newspaper death notices, and a dejected writer whose first serious novel has been declared the funniest book of the year. Add to the mix beautiful ex-courtesan Amabelle Fortescue and her guests staying in a neighbouring cottage and you have a ribald tale of true love and false fidelity, hijinks and low morals, not to mention the consumption of a considerable quantity of Christmas spirit.<br><br><b>''Utter, utter bliss'' <i>Daily Mail</i></b><br><br><b>''A dazzling comic delight'' <i>The Times</i></b><br><br><b>''Very funny, irresistible'' <i>Spectator</i></b></p>
