Overview
Outrageous, passionate and glamorous, the Mitford sisters beguiled their peers, the press and then the rest of the world throughout their lives and still captivate us today - celebrated cartoonist Mimi Pond brings to them to life in this sparkling graphic biography. 'A total treat - bravo' Sunday Times 'A spectacular, dizzying romp' Alison Bechdel, Fun Home Outrageous, passionate and glamourous - a stunning graphic biography of the six sisters who blazed their way through the 20th century, beguiling their peers, the press and then the rest of the world As a young girl living in sun-bleached 1960s suburban California, Mimi Pond fell in love with the Mitford sisters. Nancy, Pamela, Diana, Unity, Jessica and Deborah Mitford brought society glitz, pageantry, scandal, and real (rainy) weather to her own prosaic life. High society debutantes known for rubbing shoulders with some of history's most infamous fascists and communists, the sisters were also, in turn, gifted writers, inveterate nicknamers, chicken-raising homebodies, scathing wits, and passionate adventurers in the maelstrom of the 20th century. Drawn with inimitable artistic flair and a mischievous affinity for the decadent and grandly declining aristocracy, Mimi Pond brings the Mitfords to life in this glittering and lovingly researched family biography. **Delight your loved ones with this perfect festive gift**
