Pressestimmen
'Bigger, better and back on the shelves. Lord Moyne's lively account of the swishest society sextet has been updated. It's an oldie but it's a goodie'. -- Camilla Long Tatler 'This entertaining book continues to promote the Mitfords' historical interest' The Times
Kurzbeschreibung
Among the six daughters and one son born to David, second Lord Redesdale, and his wife Sydney were Nancy, the novelist and historian; Diana, who married fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley; Unity, friend of Hitler; Jessica, who became a communist and then an investigative journalist; and Deborah, Duchess of Devonshire and mistress of Chatsworth. 'The Mitford Girls,' as John Betjeman called them, were one of the twentieth century's most controversial families; said to be always either in shrieks of laughter or floods of tears, they were glamorous, romantic and - especially in politics - extreme. Yet the teasing, often bordering on cruelty, the flamboyant contrasts and the violent disagreements, hid a powerful affection, subtle likenesses in character, and a powerful underlying unity.

Einleitungssatz
The story of the seven Mitfords begins in the 1890s with the acquaintanceship, and rather short-lived political collaboration, of two remarkable men: Algernon Bertram Mitford and Thomas Gibson Bowles. Lesen Sie die erste Seite

Flawed, but still essential reading for Mitfordians.
12. Februar 1999
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Mr. and Ms. Guinness' massive biographical study of their family is tremendously interesting to any devoted reader of the Mitfords. However, their attempts to rehabilitate the legacy of unrepentant fascists Diana (Guinesses' mother--so it's an understandable lapse) and Unity are nearly comical in their reach. They go to great lengths to discredit those who've criticized Unity and Diana's reprehensible involvement in and enthusiasm for Hitler and his British minions, including of course Diana's husband, Mosley; rather than adequately contextualize Diana and Unit's fervor, these attempts serve only to make themselves appear as familial apologists. The authors' unstinting criticism of Jessica's Communism brings their blind spots when it comes to Unity and Diana's fascism into particular relief.
As scholars, the father-and-daughter biographers are lacking in appropriate perspective and historical context; however, the "insider" information they impart makes the book a veritable treasure chest of Mitfordiana.

all about the mitfords
10. Januar 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
this book is (almost) "the holy grail" of the mitford family history. it is a great read and so fascinating. it is everything the reader wants to know and is written by a close family member. author jonathan guinness is diana mitford's son.
i recommend this book highly as a "starter" book for those who are interested in learning about this unusual family. i would also add,to check out other books by other authors. this gives a more,broad perspective of the mitfords and would be written by someone who can see the family in a different light,so to speak...still a great book!

House of Mitford: Portrait of a Family
13. April 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I have read some of their history in genealogy format, but I wanted to read the whole book on the family. I was not disappointed. It is everything I had hoped it would be and more. The genealogy had more information than I had before. Get this book for good reading. Thank you.
