All in One Basket - Deborah Devonshire

Entertaining, instructive,thought-provoking and hilarious, the unmistakeable voice of Deborah Devonshire rings out of this volume which combines her two collections of 'occasional' writings.

The pieces are broad and eclectic in their subjects, ranging from treasures unearthedwhile the kitchen was being redecorated, musings about the reason forthe reworded town sign, tourism at Chatsworth, a ringside view of both John F. Kennedy's inauguration and funeral, and the valueof deportment.No matter what she's writing about she is always affectionate, shrewd and uproariously funny.
