About this book

This volume continues Miss Mitford's reflections on the changes to village life and characters when she returns two years after the end of Volume 1. It follows the same keen and witty observations of villagers and their continuing stories as well as the seasonal and localised general changes over this time. This selection also includes many memories of Miss Mitford's own school years and her introduction into "society". (Summary by Anne Fletcher) The text source is missing pages 198, 199, 236 and 237, which can be found in the following links: The Old House at Aberleigh My Godfathers manoeuvering
