The Voluble Topsy by A P Herbert

In the late 1920s Topsy is a girl about town, 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. One particular man draws her into politics, and to Topsy’s amazement, she is elected as a member of Parliament.

A P Herbert (1890-1971) was one of Britain's greatest comic writers, who specialised in writing for Punch, where the Topsy letters first appeared. He had a long career as a Member of Parliament and lawyer, during which he was a savage critic of obsolete British laws.
