Pigeon Pie - E-book - ePub

Set at the outbreak of World War II, Lady Sophia Garfield dreams of becoming a beautiful spy but manages not to notice a nest of German agents right under her nose. Until the murder of her maid and the kidnapping of her beloved bulldog force them on her attention, with heroic and absurd results. One of Mitford's earliest novels and written before Christmas 1939, Pigeon Pie is delivered with a touch lighter than that of her later masterpieces but no less entertaining.
This comedy combines glamour, wit, and a fiendishly absurd plot into an irresistible literary confection.'This sparking and deliciously acid commentary of the social world.' - The Scotsman
