All in One Basket: A Memoir

All in One Basket: A Memoir

• Used Book in Good Condition

Deborah Mitford, Duchess of Devonshire, is the youngest of the famously witty brood of writers, agitators, and icons. Here she recalls anecdotes about famous friends from Evelyn Waugh to John F. Kennedy; her struggles and success at Chatsworth, England's greatest stately home; and of course tales of her beloved chickens, which the Duchess began raising as a child for pocket money. <i>All in One Basket</i> brings together two volumes of her writings and provides a disarming look at a life lived with great zest and originality by a "national treasure"<i> </i>(<i>The New York Times</i>).
