| Summary Note |
The Bright Young Things of 1920s Mayfair, with their paradoxical mix of innocence and sophistication, exercise their inventive minds and vile bodies in various kinds of capricious escapade, whether it is promiscuity, dancing, cocktail parties or sports cars. This work reveals the vulnerability beneath the glittering surface of the high life. |
