Meals, conversations, local incidents and the practical business of running an inn become material for a sharply personal social portrait. Fothergill is opinionated, observant and often very funny, particularly when reality fails to match his standards. His diary offers an intimate view of English hospitality between the wars and of the eccentric individual attempting to make an ordinary establishment something special.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216513417555,"sku":null,"price":6.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421160980819,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1085\/2951\/6883\/files\/1153.jpg?v=1792531860","url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/an-innkeepers-diary-folio-society-1153","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
