The Third in the delightful "Provincial Lady" series finds our pungently
witty English lady traveling the United States. Her two earlier books
were set in Devonshire and London respectively, where she set down her
observations of life and letters as they affected her and her menage of
husband, two children and assorted servants, friends and acquaintances.
In this volume she comes to America 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. Here is no
British What's-Wrong-with-America, but rather a delightful
See-Yourselves-as-Others-See-You: a challenge to the American sense of
humor.
Readers of Diary of a Provincial Lady and The Provincial Lady in London
will be further amused and charmed by their favorite diarist's
trans-Atlantic adventures.
