It had been called the London Season, and for three centuries it had been a time of elegant suppers and great balls that introduced England's most aristocratic and eligible girls to world. Though by 1939 the stately gavottes and minuets got long since given way to waltzes and fox-trots, the cream of young womanhood still curtsied low prior to the Queen and then went to dance the night time away with the teenagers they would one day marry. But the Season of 1939 was different: it was to be the last. And like many a finale, it lives on in recollection as a pleasant, enchanted dream, all the more beautiful for the horror and destruction that would follow so soon. Predicated on a wealth of first-hand reminiscences, press clippings, and memorabilia, 1939: THE PAST Season of Peace is a remarkable portrait of the fairy tale going to end. It captures the finish of a time as it recreates a world whose inhabitants still presumed in empire and traditions. It really is a brilliant picture of your technology suspended in a brief moment of sunlit summer months glory, prior to the gathering storm of World Battle II swept it all away.
