Description
Deborah Mitford, Duchess of Devonshire, shares her remarkable life story in this autobiography. Born into an eccentric and happy childhood, she recounts her experiences from tea with Adolf Hitler to her marriage to Andrew Cavendish, the second son of the Duke of Devonshire. Her life changed dramatically when his unexpected inheritance of the title and vast estates came through after the wartime death of his brother. She and her family took up residence in Chatsworth, a four-hundred-year-old family seat with incomparable collections of art and antiques. The Duchess's care and attention brought new life to the estate, which is now regarded as one of England's most loved historic houses. Written with intense warmth, charm, and perception, this unique portrait offers an unprecedented look at the rhythms of life inside one of England's great aristocratic families during a tumultuous time.
