Spirited Henrietta wishes she was the kind of doctor's wife who knew exactly how to deal with the daily upheavals of war. But then, everyone in her close-knit Devonshire village seems to find different ways to cope: there's the indomitable Lady B, who writes to Hitler every night to tell him precisely what she thinks of him; the terrifyingly efficient Mrs Savernack, who relishes the opportunity to sit on umpteen committees and boss everyone around; flighty, flirtatious Faith who is utterly preoccupied with the latest hats and flashing her shapely legs; and then there's Charles, Henrietta's hard-working husband who manages to sleep through a bomb landing in their neighbour's garden. With life turned upside down under the shadow of war, Henrietta chronicles the dramas, squabbles and loyal friendships that unfold in her affectionate letters to her 'dear childhood friend' Robert. Warm, witty and perfectly observed, Henrietta's War brings to life a sparkling community of determined troupers who pull together to fight the good fight with patriotic fervour and good humour. Henrietta's War is part of The Bloomsbury Group, a new library of books from the early twentieth-century chosen by readers for readers.

Download Henrietta Barnett, of Hampstead Garden Suburb Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The feminist social reformer Henrietta Barnett (1851-1936) is best known as the moving spirit behind the creation of London's Hampstead Garden Suburb. Yet, as Micky Watkins shows in this lively biography, the Suburb was only the final achievement of a long and varied career of social engagement, much of it spent among the worst slums of London's East End. Octavia Hill, John Ruskin, Walter Crane, Beatrice Webb, Arnold Toynbee and Herbert Spencer, as well as innumerable East Enders - often riotously immune to attempts at their 'improvement' - people this vivid account.A woman of immense energy, Henrietta's role in both Toynbee Hall and the Whitechapel Art Gallery was central to their foundation and continued success, and she spent the latter half of her life in realising her dream project of building Hampstead Garden Suburb.Henrietta's work in town planning won the admiration of the American feminist Jane Addams, and in the USA she was feted by Henry Ford, Dale Carnegie and John Rockefeller. Drawing on hitherto unpublished sources, Micky Watkins traces Henrietta's ground-breaking achievement in building in North London the utopian Hampstead Garden Suburb to house all classes and conditions of people, as an antidote to the East End slums. Her Suburb has influenced town planning all over the world.

The war is now in its third year and although nothing can dent the fierce patriotic spirit of Henrietta's friends even they have their anxious moments. The indomitable Lady B who, at seventy, tries to enlist in the A.T.S. can barely face the thought of life without elastic. But elastic, along with coal, meat and silk stockings are soon forgotten in the battle over the British Restaurant and the endlessly ingenious and distracting fund-raising events from the Red Cross Bowling Tournament which Lady B recklessly enters with Henrietta in tow ('It will be unfortunate for our partners, but good for their self control') to the Croquet Doubles in which the Admiral's wife takes part even though she has just learnt of the death of her son. When an inspiring W.V.S. dignitary addresses her wilting audience of housewives as 'the army that Hitler forgot' she was speaking no more than the truth.
