Nancy Mitford

4.9/5 (18474 ratings)

Description:When fashionable Bright Young People meet the old regime on a Scottish grouse moor, the real sport begins. Albert Gates, a surrealist painter of impeccable family, is given to outrageous pranks; Jane Dacre finds him irresistible but the crusty older members of the shooting party are less keen. His victims include Lady Prague, whom he haunts disguised as the castle ghost, and General Murgatroyd, who will never willingly shake hands with a foreigner. The comically ill-assorted house-party encapsulates perfectly the high-society glamour of the decade before the Second World War. ‘Oh, now do tell me, I’m so interested in art, whatdo you chiefly go in for? I mean – water-coloursor oils?’‘My principal medium is what you would call oils.Gouache, tempera and prepared dung are mediumsI never neglect, while my bead, straw andbutton pictures have aroused a great deal ofcriticism not by any means all unfavourable.’‘It always seems to me a great pity to go in for oilsunless you’re really good. Now Prague’s sister hasa girl who draws quite nicely and she wanted togo Paris, but I said to her parents, “Why let herlearn oils. There are too many oil paintings in theworld already.”’We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
