Alice Barton finds adventure during a Friday-to-Monday at a grand country house in a classic, deliciously diverting 1930s romantic comedy Pomfret Towers, Barsetshire seat of the earls of Pomfret, was constructed, with great pomp and want of concern for creature comforts, in the once-fashionable style of Sir Gilbert Scotts St. Pancras station. It makes a grand setting for a house party at which gamine Alice Barton and her brother Guy are honored guests, mixing with the headstrong Rivers family, the tally-ho Wicklows, and, most charming of all, Giles Foster, nephew and heir of the present Lord Pomfret. But whose hand will Mr. Foster seek in marriage, and who will win Alices tender heart? This is another delightful wintertime story from the classic and much-loved author of High Rising.
