Nancy Mitford by Diana Mosley
Nancy Mitford was witty, intelligent, often acerbic, a great tease and an acute observer of upper-class British idiosyncrasies. Her devastating illness prevented her from writing her memoir, but in 1974 Harold Acton, her close friend, completed her project based on material she had collected.

Like many of Nancy Mitford's friends, Harold Acton was part of the Brideshead generation. Independently wealthy with La Pietra, a huge estate in Florence, his brilliant narrative writing made him one of Britain's most-loved writers.
