Pomona's Travels A Series of Letters to the Mistress of Rudder Grange from her Former Handmaiden

Pomona, once a bright‑eyed orphan in the service of Rudder Grange, now writes a lively series of letters to her former mistress, Euphemia. With a modest inheritance and a husband who shares her enthusiasm for learning, she sets out to broaden both her own horizons and those of her young daughter. Her correspondence blends practical observations with a budding literary flair, offering a window into a woman eager to turn everyday experiences into education.

The letters unfold as a charming travelogue of late‑Victorian England, punctuated by whimsical episodes—a daring four‑in‑hand carriage ride, a tricycle‑led stag hunt, and amusing encounters with eccentric locals and American visitors. Pomona’s witty commentary on customs, language, and the quirks of country life brings humor and insight to each vignette. Listeners are invited to accompany her on a journey where curiosity, humor, and a touch of romance illuminate the social tapestry of the era.
