Miss Bunting Author: Angela Thirkell

ISBN: 9780349007564 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 368 Published: 10 January 2017 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 19.8 x 12.6 x 2.9 Description: Barsetshire in the war years. Miss Bunting, governess of choice to generations of Barsetshire aristocracy, has been coaxed out of retirement by Sir Robert and Lady Fielding to tutor their daughter Anne, delicate, sixteen years old, and totally lacking in confidence.

When Anne makes friends with Heather Adams, the gauche daughter of a nouveau riche entrepreneur, her mother is appalled. Miss Bunting, however, shows an instinctive understanding of the younger generation - perhaps, having lost so many of her former pupils to the war, she is more sympathetic to their needs. She may be a part of the old social order, where everyone knows their place, but is wise enough to realise that the war has turned everything on its head and nothing will ever be the same again - even in rural Barsetshire.

First published in 1945, Miss Bunting is a charming social comedy of village life during the Second World War.
