!["Debo" Duchess of Devonshire (Deborah Mitford) the last surviving of the famous and notorious Mitford sisters. Even though she had incredible wealth, she was always a farm girl at heart. Here she is feeding her chickens in a posed photo. A wonderful woman whose life is like a fairy tale. Her autobiography: Deborah Mitford Duchess of Deavonshire "Wait For Me" is great reading.](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_teE7XjgNKODNKTW__NlyzhVMXsx6MMljTsW5EafHGlZsKj7t5_NAjqonmlmeZU077UD5-JTHNYZSNyvb4zbj6ms8MPOBVvSTtEQPOaTnJjMbj-lDQhVlrv5gBSV9ZWtKJdnqDLGwkc2shhiZX8NSFd=s0-d) |

I'm not much of a non fiction fan. I find many hard to get into. I am starting to read more biographies though. The Mitford's are a fascinating family consistently in the media during their lives. This biography (like all) is slightly biased towards Diana as its complied by one of her descendants but I think the letters demention gives perfect snapshots into their complicated lives. It also shows much more of the sisters famous wit and humor - Deborah (Duchess of Devonshire) was a revelation to me! It is long but reads quickly and includes some of the families pictures.
