Product details

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, which is 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, leading to much farce.

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. 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.
