About this title

Synopsis

'Sloane Ranger', a commonplace term in 1980s London and Britain, was popularised by British writer Peter York and co-writer Ann Barr in 'The Official Sloane Ranger Handbook', 'The Official Sloane Ranger Directory', and this book, their companions, 'The Official Sloane Ranger Diary'. Both books were published by the British society-watcher magazine Harpers & Queen, for whom Peter York was Style Editor and "was responsible for identifying the cult phenomena of "Sloane Rangers" and "Foodies".
This diary is the guide to the Sloane's year, for the Sloane about town and country, detailing and listing the essential Sloane cultural and social events to attend.
"What a splendid, excellent, fabulous, super bloody book!" Simone Palmer-Hebblethwaite.

From the backcover:

"“Follow Henry and Caroline in public and private through the upper-class year. THE OFFICIAL SLOANE RANGER DIARY tells you everything you need to know about the seasons. ‘The place was packed – but there was no one there.’ (Better not admit you were there yourself.)

Sloan Rangers know there is a time and a place for everything: dressing down, dressing up, going to Thailand, going to bed, drinking Pimms, killing birds, betting on horses (not the favourite). It’s unnatural to do things at any other time. Do nothing out of season. THE OFFICIAL SLOANE RANGER DIARY will double your fun-expectancy by reminding you WHEN, WHERE, and whether you can take the dogs.”
