First edition. With an autograph letter signed by Nancy Mitford to Hunphrey Hare loosely inserted. This letter is printed on p. 193 of The Letters 2pp., 4to., 19 quai Malaquais, VI, 23rd November 1947. Folded twice. After a couple of paragraphs discussing Hare's forthcoming book on Swinburne, and the potential difficulty of find…ing a publisher interested in taking on a French translation, Nancy writes: "Aren't novels the devil. Mine is so dull I can hardly bring myself to write it - never mind, people love dull novels I keep saying, the longer & duller the better." Amongst other matters, including 'the millionaire's flat' she has been lent, 'so unlike me in every way', she comments on the royal wedding, three days earlier: "Poor Pss E seems to have looked even more terrible than one had feared - did you go & loyally stand? I'm having my portrait done & the chap arrived with a wireless so we had it all - the Frog commentator translating the wedding service was a yell. Anyway it must have been a nice outing for all those decayed old royals - the poor little Yugoslavs were thrilled & spent happy weeks having their jewels re-set. I'm in love with King Mike, he looks a wonderful cad doesn't he." Nancy ends with a mention of a rich Parisian transvestite: 'The great thrill here is M. Lecomte who, with a curtain of golden hair to the shoulders, has ordered Balmain's shell pink & coral ball dress & 6 other dresses, & looks, so we are told, a dream in them. Everyone is trying to get to know him & be asked to the soirées when he wears his toilettes.' 8vo., original cloth with dust wrapper. Repaired closed tewar to lower panel of wrapper, otherwise a very good copy.
