BOOK MONTH! GEAR UP FOR SUMMER VACATION WITH BOOKS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY. EVERYTHING FROM ROMANCE NOVELS TO PICTURE BOOKS TO HISTORY BOOKS TO ANTIQUARIAN NOVELS AND LOTS MORE!
Description:"Mrs. Miniver" by Jan Struther (1942 edition, first time published in the U.S.A.) is a book containing thirty eight essays originally printed in the London Times between 1937 and 1939 with an additional essay written for the American edition (this one), about Mrs. Miniver, an upper middle class British housewife with a country home and servants. Although the preparations for war are discussed in later essays, they mostly deal with the everyday lives of this typical middle class family. The essays became a symbol of the essence of British life and were published in book form as the war began. The US edition includes an additional essay where Mrs. Miniver prepares her first Christmas shopping list of the war. A truly wonderful and insightful book.
