Lady Rose and Mrs Memmary Category_Grey Books/Diaries early ‘type-writers’PREFACE BY CANDIA MCWILLIAM 224pp ISBN 9781903155431 Like Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, this 1937 novel is a fairy tale for grown ups, but one 'with an uneasy crash into social reality', as Candia McWilliam puts it in her preface.
