Book Overview
In her beguiling memoir, "Wait for Me ," Deborah Mitford, Duchess of Devonshire (and the youngest of the famously witty brood of writers, agitators, and icons), recounted her eventful life with wit and grace. "All in One Basket" collects the Duchess of Devonshire's breezy, occasional writings and provides a disarming look at a life lived with great zest and originality."""All in One Basket" combines two earlier collections, "Counting My Chickens "and "Home to Roost," its sequel, which was never published in the United States. In these pages, we hear anecdotes about famous friends from Evelyn Waugh to John F. Kennedy; tales of struggle and success at Chatsworth, England's greatest stately home; and of course the tales of her beloved chickens, which the Duchess began raising as a child for pocket money. In "All in One Basket," glamorous recollections happily coexist with practical insights into country life, and the result is a revelatory, intimate portrait of a woman described by "The New York Times" as a "national treasure."
