Voluble Topsy: A young lady's chatter about love, politics and war, 1928-1947

In the late 1920s Topsy is a girl about town, a society deb, a dashing flapper.

She writes breathless, exuberant letters to her best friend Trix about her life, her parties, her intrigues, and the men in her life.

One particular man draws her into politics, and to Topsy's amazement, she is elected as a member of Parliament.

Topsy's extensive social life, her adventures in and out of the House of Commons (and her audacious attempts to legislate for the Enjoyment of the People), and her wartime activity as the mother of twins, were recorded faithfully by the great comic writer A P Herbert.

The Trials of Topsy (1928), Topsy MP (1929) and Topsy Turvy (1947) are republished in one volume for the delight and admiration of a new generation.
