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

It is wartime in Barsetshire, and so much has changed. Belier's Priory is now a hospital for wounded soldiers, and Sir Harry and Lady Waring have moved to the servants' quarters, where they make the best of it - so much more practical than the large, draughty house! Soon, their niece Leslie, who has a hush-hush job with the navy, comes to recuperate: her nerves are frayed from overwork and a close call with a torpedo.

When the Warings are then asked to house an intelligence officer and his wife, they reluctantly agree. They cannot know what a much-needed tonic Noel and Lydia Merton will prove to be. With the Priory being both the Waring residence and the army hospital, it becomes the hub of activity for all of Barsetshire.©2026 The Estate of Angela Thirkell (P)2026 Little, Brown Book Group Limited Classics Family Life Genre Fiction Literature & Fiction Small Town & Rural War & Military Komik

You read her, laughing, and want to do your best to protect her characters from any reality but their own
The novels are a delight, with touches of E. F. Benson, E. M. Delafield and P. G. Wodehouse

This is a view of England in 1943 which is fresh, honest, and funny. It is positive and cheerful and full of common sense. It is so nice to have a story with no modern humbug. The narrator gives an excellent performance of all the voices – both male and female, upstairs and downstairs. The characters are very likeable, and the author creates the kind of place you’d like to be. I would love to stay with Nanny. The sound quality is also excellent – lovely and loud.

Humorous story, delightful, beautifully narrated
