Home to roost and other peckings

Devonshire, Deborah Vivien Freeman-Mitford Cavendish, Duchess of, 1920-2009
Books, Manuscripts
The unmistakeable voice of Deborah Devonshire, the youngest of the Mitford sisters, rings out of this second volume of her occasional writings. The pieces range from a ringside view of John F. Kennedy's inauguration and funeral, a valedictory for her local post office, and the 1938 London season.
