People like us: A season among the upper classes

Více o knize

What exactly is a toff? The author admits to a good list of preconceptions from which to produce a picture: they have good manners but can be rude with a carefree air; they have no sexual inhibitions and not much moral sense; they look inbred. Infiltrating weddings and wine bars, Jennings journeys into the world of the toff, both the private world - a typical Toffs dinner party - and the public one - quaffing Pimms at Henley and eavesdropping at a charity ball.
