I recommend that you get a copy which is annotated, like my Penguin edition, because I found myself referring to it pretty frequently to get a hand of the terminology, which is sometimes a bit different from modern English.<br /><br />Buthaina: I'm sure you would enjoy it! It's not based on a true story, but Waugh's descriptions were so vivid I read up about him online and realized that he has lived and travelled through many of the places in the book, such as the tropical rainforest. But it's mostly about the aristocratic circles of British society, not any real royalty. The closest is Princess Jenny Abulbakar, who is a very colorful character, probably my favorite in the whole book!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2047880415160679172.post-79675540327631684042011-06-19T17:55:02.537+04:002011-06-19T17:55:02.537+04:00This sounds like something I'd enjoy.
