Glen has a thing for Emily Blunt, so Wild Target is the perfect movie.

Nancy Mitford probably gets the most separate attention, and there are a couple of biogs of her - one by Laura Thompson (who also did Agatha Christie) is opinionated and good. There is a biog of Unity, by David Pryce-Jones, which the family hated. I have read and possess just about every book ever written about them!Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-76531339780333030872014-06-08T18:50:19.930+01:002014-06-08T18:50:19.930+01:00Moira - Oh, this is a great look at these sisters!...Moira - Oh, this is a great look at these sisters!

He had been reading about Unity Mitford. He was wondering whether there is a good biography of the sisters. I sent his links for two biographies and a blog that had some related information, but of course have no idea whether they are good or not. Do you have an opinion about the best biography of the sisters? I did look around your blog but could not find that specific info.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.com
