Topsy's extensive social life, her adventures in and out of the House of Commons (and her audacious attempts to legislate for the Enjoyment of the People), and her wartime activity as the mother of twins, were recorded faithfully by the great comic writer A P Herbert. The Trials of Topsy (1928), Topsy MP (1929) and Topsy Turvy (1947) are republished in one volume for the delight and admiration of a new generation.
