Hardback. Zustand: Fair. A brilliant personality, remarkable novelist and legendary letter writer, it is widely known that Nancy Mitford was also a bookseller. From 1942-6 she worked in Heywood Hill's famous shop in Curzon Street, and effectively ran it when the male staff were called up for war service. After the war she left to live in France but maintained an abiding interest in the shop, its stock, and its many and varied customers who themselves form a cavalcade of the literary stars of post war Britain.
