Description: This is the second volume of her occasional writings by Deborah Devonshire, the youngest of the Mitford sisters. As broad and eclectic as her long and eventful life, the pieces range from a ringside view of John F. Kennedy{u2019}s inauguration and funeral, a valedictory for her local post office, the 1938 London season, Christmas at Chatsworth and the hazards of shopping for clothes when your eyesight is failing.
