Something Happened Yesterday holds new, various, and abundant delights for the many fans of Bainbridge's novels, not least among them her exchanges with her readers like Fred, on the history of beryl (the gemstone), or like the committee for East Clyst's 'Cooker Prize' of a gas oven for winning authors. Pleasantly idiosyncratic, this collection of personal essays blends subtle observations of contemporary England with fond, personal memories of its past. The result is part diary, part memoir, all life.

Seller's Description:
Fine. 8vo-over 7¾-9¾" tall. pp. 176. Appears new and unread although cover and spine have faed from orange to cream. Slightly dusty around edges, otherwise pristine. Includes some of Bainbridge's own black and white drawings. A selection of 50 of what the author considered the best of the idiosyncratic articles she contributed to the London 'Evening Standard'. Each piece is prefaced with a new paragraph recording her present reflecitons, and jottings at the end give a running commentary on readers' reactions at the time.
