Description

Nancy Mitford’s many controversial book, inaccessible for many years, is just a hilarious satirical send up of the political enthusiasms of her infamous siblings, Unity and Diana.Written in 1934, early in Hitler’s increase, Wigs on the Natural lightheartedly skewers the dedicated fans of British fascism. The unworldy and protected Eugenia Malmain is among the girls in Britain and an enthusiastic promoter of Common Jack and his Marriage Jackshirts. World weary Noel Foster and his scheming friend Jasper Element have been in search of wealthy heiresses to wed; Woman Marjorie, disguised as a commoner, is on-the-run in the Duke she's simply jilted at the altar; and her friend Poppy is contemplating whether to divorce her rich man. Madcap farce develops, while these figures meet with the residents in a grandly misconceived outfit contest that becomes a brawl between Jackshirts and Pacifists.
