Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. "Lady Tweedsmuir recaptures for her many readers something of the flavour of the now fabulous "Edwardian age" - the first decade of this century. It was the time of her own youth and courtship - she married John Buchan in 1907 - and the zest with which she embraced life and its experiences then adds vividness now to her recollection of these things in tranquillity. Details about Edwardian shopping, gardening and cooking, and pictures of some eccentrics of the time, fill out the delightful picture of her family life as a girl in Mayfair and in Scotland. This book makes a worthy third in the trilogy of her reminiscences that began with 'The Lilac and the Rose' and 'A Winter Bouquet'." --- Original pink cloth boards, lettered gilt on spine (22 cm height).
