In the coronation summer of 1838, seventeen-year-old Fanny Harcourt goes to London to stay with her close friend Emily Dacre for the festivities. The young Victoria, scarcely older than Fanny herself, is to assume the throne of England.

Enjoying the pomp and pageantry, the swelling crowds of commoners and snobs, Fanny soon catches the eye of a handsome novelist. Infatuations, matchmaking hazards, and romantic misunderstandings enhance the carnival atmosphere as the two girls explore the city. But it will take a real disaster to sort out the merely spectacular from the truly honorable.

This book is not connected to Angela Thirkell's main body of work, the Barsetshire novels set in the mid-20th century. This book is a fictional account of one Fanny Harcourt, who together with her best friend and her father, goes to London to be part of the festivities of Queen Victoria's coronation. Parts of it remind me of Jane Austen's juvenilia. It's mildly amusing, but not all that funny or memorable. ( )

This hasn't aged well. If you're more steeped in nineteenth-century English novels or in the tropes of early twentieth-century historical romance novels, this might work better for you than it did for me. Even then, I don't think the parody is quite biting enough to make this work as a novel that stands on its own. There's little plot, the main characters manage to be both awful and dull, and there's a lot of random bigotry about Irish people. ( )

Period passepartout, with contemporary illustrations, brightens the romancing of Fanny Harcourt and Emily Dacre as their six weeks in London for Victoria's Coronation acquaints them with their husbands-to-be. Fanny tells of the sights and sounds, the cultural samplings of art galleries, salons and music, of the ways in which her father -- and her best friend, Emily, --assaulted her fine sensibilities and of the excitement of DeLacy Vavasour's attentions. It is Henry Darnley, with his Heart of Oak, who saves her father from the shame of ruin and who claims her blushes for his own, while Emily annexes Fanny's brother, Ned. The proprieties -- and the prudery- to be taken with a light heart- and completely divorced from Thirkell's county chronicles. English publication in 1937 -- now issued here for the celebrations.
 
Graced with Thirkell's trademark dry humor and illustrated with newspaper clippings, engravings and paintings of the day (but burdened with references to politics and books now obscure), this deft, modest novel makes a quirky addition to the reprinted Thirkell oeuvre.

All shams are abhorrent to me, and if I have a small foot and a small waist it is no merit of mine, and I would not dream of trying to improve on nature. As Madame Jupon said, by judiciously sewing whalebone into the corsage of my new dress she had reduced my waist to eighteen inches, which was not only becoming, but an inch less than Emily.
"There did use to be a warehouse in the Poultry kept by Mr. R. Kipling where they had something very cheap in stockings."
Emily and I went in a sixpenny bus to Battersea, and accompanied Mrs. Bellows to Mr. Kipling's Warehouse, where Emily bought six dozen pairs of stockings for the parish at a very reasonable rate.
As we approached Oxford Street we were stopped by a great concourse of coaches and chariots, with much noise and shouting.... the obstacle, whatever it was, was removed. I heard someone say in the crowd ... that it was a horse down, and that its driver had been forced to light some straw under its belly to make it get up.
When I think of all the letters I wrote during that period [1830s] I wonder that I was not ruined in steel nibs.
