Those Delightful Americans is a novel written by Sara Jeannette Duncan and published in 1902. The book is a satirical look at American society and its influence on British culture. The story revolves around the character of Mrs. Ess Kay, an American woman who comes to England with her daughter and her niece. Mrs. Ess Kay is determined to make a name for herself in British society and is not afraid to use her wealth and influence to achieve her goals. She quickly becomes the talk of the town and is invited to all the best social events. However, her American ways and lack of understanding of British customs cause her to make a number of social blunders. The novel is a humorous and insightful commentary on the cultural differences between America and England, and the clash of values that can occur when two cultures collide.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
