Topsy is a girl
about town in late 1920s London, a society deb, a dashing flapper. She writes breathless, exuberant
letters to her best friend Trix
about her life, her parties, her intrigues, and the men in her life. Topsy is
unexpectedly drawn into politics, and to her amazement, she is elected as a
member of Parliament.



Topsy’s
extensive social life, her adventures in and out of the House of Commons (and
her audacious attempts to legislate for the Enjoyment of the People), and her
wartime activity as the mother of twins, were recorded faithfully by the great
comic writer A P Herbert. Handheld Press is publishing a new omnibus edition of Topsy's adventures, consisting of The Trials of Topsy (1928),
Topsy
MP (1929)
and Topsy
Turvy (1947), for the delight and admiration of a new
generation. For lovers of Nancy Mitford and The Diary of a Provincial Lady Topsy will be a fresh delight.
