As broad and eclectic as her long and eventful life, the pieces range from a ringside view of John F. Kennedy€™s inauguration and funeral, a valedictory for her local post office, the 1938 London season, Christmas at Chatsworth, and the hazards of shopping for clothes when your eyesight is failing. Affectionate, shrewd, and uproariously funny, her no-nonsense, bang-on-the-nail observations are as good as any antidepressant. Specially commissioned drawings from her son-in-law Will Topley are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deborah Devonshire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e John Murray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 168\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781848541894\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Deborah Devonshire","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67694721925348,"sku":"FRK000000175","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/71jQowo3HuL.jpg?v=1792544804","url":"https:\/\/bookandmortar.com\/products\/used-very-good-home-to-roost-and-other-peckings-deborah-devonshire-hardcover","provider":"BookandMortar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
