[Barsetshire 01] • Christmas at High Rising

Praise for *High Rising*:

'Charming very funny indeed. Thirkell is the most Pym-like of any twentieth-century author after Pym herself' Alexander McCall Smith

'A terrific holiday story' *The Lady*

Originally published in the 1930s and 1940s and never before collected these stories by the incomparable Angela Thirkell relate merry scenes of a trip to the pantomime escapades on ice a Christmas Day gone awry and an electrifying afternoon for Laura Morland and friends at Low Rising not to mention the chatter of the arty set at a London private view. Charming irreverent and full of mischievous humour they offer the utmost entertainment in any season of the year.
