My grandmother would not approve, but apparently a lot of people do! Funny

LETTERS EXCHANGED BETWEEN THE MITFORD SISTERS: “LETTERS BETWEEN THE SIX SISTERS, THE MITFORDS”
My grandmother often spoke of her distaste for the Mitford Sisters. My grandfather loathed them, especially their Nazi sympathies. My Aunt Lael gave me this book LETTERS BETWEEN THE SIX SISTERS, THE MITFORDS. My wife and I have been reading it together. I have found the letters fascinating, but I can understand why my own grandfather had no use for any of them, except the Duchess of Devonshire. Let me publish a bit of history so you can read this very interesting booking with some background. 1925-1945 were very interesting times in Britain; this book gives a great backdrop for the Prince of Wales. He was a central figure in this group with similar political and social views. Naughty ladies. SHAME ON THEM, my Grandmother would have said. She would have called them NASTY SILKIES.
Can you believe, Clementine Hosier Churchill was their cousin, and Winston Churchill a cousin by marriage. I am sure he would have loved to shut them all up on more than on one occasion.
Very interesting reading.
