Synopsis
This volume of Lady Bulldog’s diaries was discovered by accident in the British Library by editor Sandi Toksvig. The partially restored account of the Grand Tour undertaken by this intrepid Victorian traveler and her maid Jinks in 1880 includes a selection of Jinks’ original sketches. Of particular interest are the episodes involving Lady Burton’s initiation into the murky world of French opium dens, her entirely accidental participation in the running of the bulls in Pamplona, and a rather tiresome week on a Greek shipping vessel where, it is believed, designs for her groundbreaking double-gusset underpant first began to take shape.

From the Publisher
This volume of Lady Bulldog’s diaries was discovered by accident in the British Library by editor Sandi Toksvig, while researching the importance of bark in the cuisine of the Ubangi people. The partially restored account of the Grand Tour undertaken by this intrepid Victorian traveler and her maid Jinks in 1880 includes a selection of Jinks’ original sketches. Of particular interest are the episodes involving Lady Burton’s initiation into the murky world of French opium dens; her entirely accidental (but triumphant) participation in the running of the bulls in Pamplona; the curious sojourn at the Italian lakes, where she spent a happy time mistaken for Queen Victoria; and a rather tiresome week on a Greek shipping vessel where, it is believed, designs for her groundbreaking double–gusset underpant first began to take shape. Comedian Sandi Toksvig’s previous books include Gladys Reunited.
