The Mitford Society's annual

The life of a writer!! This blog has been quite dead as of late...as of 6 months or more to be exact. If you're interested in The Mitford Girls or that era in general then please do head over to my other (and more active) blog www.themitfordsociety.wordpress.com

The Mitford Society has just released its first annual which should be of interest to anyone who loves the inter-war era, aristocratic families, Evelyn Waugh, Parisian fashion, horoscopes and a little mix of academia and fun! The proceeds of the annual will go towards maintaining an official website for The Mitford Society. Click here to have a look. 

The Mitford Girls' Guide to Life

I've been hiding away in The Hons' Cupboard AKA my work station for the best part of 3 months now, but the good news is that I've submitted my manuscript and the next time I see it it'll be in book form! My book, 'The Mitford Girls' Guide to Life' is already available for pre-order on amazon.co.uk!  Click here to see more.

The Mitford Family Album...

I've scanned some rare photos for The Mitford Society from the out of print The Mitford Family Album by Sophia Murphy (Debo's youngest daughter). And also some photographs from Decca, The Letters of Jessica Mitford. So, if you're going to steal these please do credit where you found them because you won't find them anywhere else on the net!

The Mitford Girls

As you may or may not know, I run The Mitford Society  over on facebook, and in doing so I am always on the look-out for rare photographs of the girls. I found these delightful scans in Decca Mitford's memoir A Fine Old Conflict, and the other scans in a biography of Diana Mitford by Jan Dalley. Anyone is welcome to save the photographs but please do credit them appropriately.
