The Complete Diary of a Cotswold Lady

The Complete Diary of a Cotswold Lady is an extraordinary sequence of daily entries, covering the years 1788 to 1824. During these thirty-seven years Agnes Witts - a remarkable woman with great zest for life - recorded the weather, letters received and letters sent, and most importantly of all, her social diary. Her spirits made her rise above the family's financial disaster caused by her husband's bankruptcy and she and Edward always moved in the best circles, notwithstanding their straitened circumstances.
