Annotation
Description 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 heirrss (so much easier than trying to work for the money); Poppy and Marjorie are nursing lovelorn hearts;and the beautiful bourgois Mrs Lace is on the prowl for someone to lighten the boredom of her life. They all congregate near Eugenia's fabulous country home at Chatford, and much farce ensues. One of Nancy Mitford's earliest novels, Wigs on the Green was 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 Mosley, 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 ther is froth, comedy and heart here too.
