Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition, fourth impression with '4' on copyright page, a tribute to the authors' popularity. Some edge wear and chipping to top and bottom of unlaminated jacket and spine, corners very slightly bruised, some overall dust staining, particularly…to back jacket, some yellowing to page block, tiny old yellow mark to inside front flap, price clipped, no inscriptions, internally clean almost square and tight, overall a vg copy. 390pp. In 1956, Deborah, Duchess of Devonshire (1920-2014), youngest of the six Mitford sisters, invited the writer and war hero Patrick Leigh Fermor to visit Lismore Castle, in Ireland. This halcyon stay sparked off a deep friendship and a lifelong exchange of highly entertaining letters. There can rarely have been such contrasting styles, Debo unashamed philistine and self professed illiterate, darts from subject to subject, dashing off letters but hitting the nail on the head again and again without even looking, while Paddy, polyglot, widely read prose virtuoso, replies in his characteristic fluent, polished manner. Prose notwithstanding, they have much in common: enjoyment of life, youthful high spirits, generosity and lack of malice. There are glimpses of President Kennedy's inauguration, weekends at Sandringham, filming with Erroll Flynn and, above all, of life at Chatsworth, which Debo spent much of her life restoring, and of Kardamyli, the home that Paddy built in his beloved Greece. Patrick Leigh Fermor (1915-2011), was widely regarded as 'Britain's greatest living travel writer' during his lifetime, A BBC journalist once described him as 'a cross between Indiana Jones, James Bond and Graham Greene.' During the war, working for SOE, he achieved lasting fame for his kidnapping, with Stanley Moss, of Nazi General Heinrich Kreipe on Crete. The editor Charlotte Mosley is Diana Mitford's daughter in law and Debo's niece. She has worked as a publisher, author and journalist.

This copy is bright, tight, white and square. The unclipped dust wrapper is in new condition. This copy has been signed by Patrick Leigh Fermor, Deb…orah Devonshire and the editor Charlotte Mosley on the title page. This book is from the library of Colonel Nicolas Davies. Queen's Royal Regiment. Royal Regiment of Artillery. Secretary for Appointments and Chief Clerk, Duchy of Lancaster. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. In spring 1956, Deborah, Duchess of Devonshire - youngest of the six legendary Mitford sisters - invited the writer and war hero Patrick Leigh Fermor to visit Lismore Castle, the Devonshires' house in Ireland. This halcyon visit sparked off a deep friendship and a lifelong exchange of sporadic but highly entertaining letters. There can rarely have been such contrasting styles: Debo, unashamed philistine and self-professed illiterate (though suspected by her friends of being a secret reader), darts from subject to subject while Paddy, polyglot, widely read prose virtuoso, replies in the fluent, polished manner that has earned him recognition as one of the finest writers in the English language. Prose notwithstanding, the two friends have much in common: a huge enjoyment of life, youthful high spirits, warmth, generosity and lack of malice. There are glimpses of President Kennedy's inauguration, weekends at Sandringham, stag hunting in France, filming with Errol Flynn in French Equatorial Africa and, above all, of life at Chatsworth, the great house that Debo spent much of her life restoring, and of Paddy in the house that he and his wife Joan designed and built on the southernmost peninsula of Greece. Full of laughter and humour, these letters will delight Leigh Fermor and Mitford fans alike. Ref B 4. Signed by Author(s).
