About the Book
The third in the delightful “Provincial Lady” series finds our pungently witty English lady travelling the United States on a literary tour. She visits New York, Cleveland, Chicago and the World’s Fair of 1932, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington, among other cities—confiding to her diary as she goes her shrewd and barbed thoughts and queries.
Reviews
"Her humor is much like . . . a good light comic ‘Masterpiece Theatre’ series."—Christian Science Monitor
"For those who have sniffed the literary scene and can identify the landmarks, it will have the added interest that gossip about one’s friends has."—New York Times Book Review
