| (E M Delafield)
|
| Delafield was a director of 'Time and Tide' magazine. When the editor wanted some light content, preferably in serial form, Delafield promised to think of something to submit. It was thus in 1930 that her most popular and enduring work, 'Diary of a Provincial Lady', was born. This largely autobiographical novel substituted the names of "Robin" and "Vicky" for her own children. It has never been out of print.

|
| E. M. Delafield took provincial England as her theme, made use of every day happenings in the life of a small community, saw humour in what another might have looked on as boredom, and so achieved success. Her small town life is really that of small towns in every country, her domestic troubles are those of every housewife who has to manage on a small income, her Robert is a thousand other Roberts and her witty, penetrating mind and ability to condense much into diary form have created books that seem deceptively simple. However, they are not as simple as they seem. Everything E. M. Delafield wrote reflects her personality, and it is that personality that enabled her to make use of small every day things.
