I cannot imagine why I have never read this before, given my Mitford sisters mania, but it was, as I hoped, utterly fabulous. It has not only Decca's most famous pieces, but also her comments on how she wrote them and what the reaction to them was. Her turn of phrase is, as always, hilarious and pointed, and her investigations unflinching. I think I most enjoyed her takedown of Bennett Cerf's Famous Writers School (entitled "Let Us Now Appraise Famous Writers"), but everything here is simply marvelous to read, essential for both Mitford fans and those interested in great muckraking journalism.
