Mrs Miniver - Struther Jan - 1942

DESCRIPTION

119 pages. Surface tear on back cover. Covers have slight soiling. Edges of covers have superficial wear. Spine is uncreased. Pages are lightly tanned. Shortly before the Second World War, a column by 'Mrs Miniver' appeared in THE TIMES, the first of many recounting the everyday events of a middle-class Chelsea family: Mrs Miniver's thrill at the sight of October chrysanthemums; her sense of doom when the faithful but rackety car is replaced; the escapades of Vin, Toby and Judy, her unpredictable young children; visits to the Kent cottage and, as war becomes a reality, the strange experience of acquiring gas masks and the cameraderie of those unsettling early days. Mrs Miniver enchanted the public with her sympathy and affectionate humour, capturing ordinary lives and values now darkened by war. First published in book form in 1939 and later an enormously successful film, MRS MINIVER became a bestseller on both sides of the Atlantic - with Churchill exclaiming that it had done more for the Allied cause than a flotilla of battleships.
