I enjoyed it though, I think it's worth reading.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-65628143850455059362010-04-15T19:07:36.187+10:002010-04-15T19:07:36.187+10:00I *must* read some more Nancy Mitford one of these...I *must* read some more Nancy Mitford one of these days... I didn't realise Uncle M turned up in this one, that will definitely encourage me to pick it up (as will the Oxford setting!

I'll have to add this one to the pile--I love the new Penguin editions. There are lots of books out there now, aren't there either about or by the Mitfords.Daniellehttp://www.danitorres.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
