About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Marge Askinforit, by Barry Pain. Read by Nigel Boydell. A rollicking parody of the Margot Asquith memoirs, in which Pain's character, Marge, beguiles us with the most personal details of her dysfunctional family, and delights in relating every cringing, if not wholly accurate, minutiae of her exciting private life.
