Wait for me! Memoirs of the Youngest Mitford Sister. By Deborah Devonshire. Signed by the author, First Edition, 2010. The dustjacket is in Very Good condition, with just a single crease to the rear flap. The book itself is Good plus, with creases to the top of the spine and pale brown stains to the edges of the text block, and to the outer margins of many pages. Deborah Mitford, Duchess of Devonshire, was the youngest of a famously witty brood that included the writers Jessica and Nancy. Deborah's effervescent memoir Wait for Me! chronicles her remarkable life, from an eccentric but happy childhood in the Oxfordshire countryside, to tea with Hitler and her sister Unity in 1937, to her marriage to Andrew Cavendish, the second son of the Duke of Devonshire. Her life changed utterly with his unexpected inheritance of the title and vast estates after the wartime death of his brother. In 1959, the Duchess and her family took up residence in Chatsworth, at that time a neglected, four-hundred-year-old house, with an incomparable collections of paintings, tapestry, and sculpture. The great house soon came to life again under the careful attention of the Duchess. Her book is written with intense warmth, charm, and perception. A unique portrait of an age of tumult, splendour, and change, it is also an unprecedented look at the rhythms of life inside one of the great aristocratic families of England.
