'Provincial Lady' - the original Bridget Jones

Am reading 'The Diary of a Provincial Lady' for the first time. Huge fun. Who would have thought a 'journal' from the 1930s would have been so entertaining and 'laugh-out-loud' funny?

Hmmm. Seem to recall reading book from the 1990s written in similar format and style - which was also written as a weekly column in a publication.

Note to self: Knew Bridget Jones based on Pride and Prejudice but didn't realise was also styled on 'The Diary of a Provincial Lady'. Sheer coincidence or blatant copying?
