Angela Thirkell

Angela Thirkell (1890–1961) was a popular British novelist known for her witty, gentle comedies of manners set in the fictional county of Barsetshire, continuing Anthony Trollope's literary tradition. Her books and audiobooks, including August Folly, offer charming, satirical portraits of English rural and upper-middle-class life. Thirkell's dry humour, social observation and memorable characters have earned her a devoted following, and her audiobooks are a delight for fans of classic English comedy.
