Previous owner's name to front endpaper.The book is in very good condition (black cloth boards with gilt lettering to spine) with light bumping to the corners and top and bottom edges of the spine. The book is in a very good unclipped dust jacket which has very light creasing here and there. Internally the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears or other inscriptions.
Meriel, Lucy, Lavina and May, the daughters of George, fourth Lord Lyttelton, were the nieces of the Prime Minister William Gladstone, with whose family they were on intimate terms. Their letters and diaries make it possible for us to know them and share their feelings in detail: at home at Wagley Hall in Worcestershire and in fashionable society; at country houses and on tours to the continent; in the schoolroom and embarking on courtship and marriage; in happiness and in adversity. Despite having eight very successful brothers, the girls emerge in their own right as strong characters, whose piety did not inhibit their exuberance and joie de vivre.
