i have got mitford sister letters from library. it is so far (i am on 1936) really good, poignant and very well done. would be an excellent sisterly present. it is a whopping great volume too.

lenny's dead ladies better xmas pres. death on bdays not great.

This is very good, especially if she is literary (lots of references to historical nobels);

The Thirteenth Tale

Just finished 'When we were bad' Charlotte Mendellson v good also liked that 'Can any mother help me' book about 1930s correspondence magazine version of Mumsnet only if mother though obviously-I would have found it dull as anything a few years ago.
