Pickpick

‘All right, keep your hair on,‘ said the old singer, taking his off and adjusting a curl. ‘Have another drink.‘

A most absurd story of Nazi spies, a murder/kidnapping of “The King of Song”, & one not too terribly intelligent heroine who is armed in charm. Sophia manages to save her godfather, dognapped Milly, & England in one fell swoop. All the while, Mitford entertains with her razor sharp satirical approach to the upper class & politicians.

Jess_Read_This I feel compelled to say that it was rather hard to review this book with Litsy character limitations. I wrote a mini essay on Goodreads. I found it to be a lovely read and having more depth than I am able to convey in my review here. ❤️ #capuchinclassics #nancymitford #bookreview #pigeonpie 4y
erzascarletbookgasm These are cool editions! 👍 4y
Jess_Read_This @erzascarletbookgasm I stumbled on this one at a used bookstore ages ago. I loved the cover. I went down the rabbit hole today researching other books Capuchin published. I agree- very cool editions! 4y

Thanks for the #ISpy tag, @batsy ! Here are a few random pink covers (they really ARE pink but the colour goes a bit wonky when they‘re photographed together 😆).

I‘m not sure who has played but how about you @Leftcoastzen and @veritysalter ? Would you two care to show some yellow covers? 😃

BookNAround Angela Thirkell! Love her books. 4y
Aimeesue I love the Mitford cover! Is that pigeon trying to drive a bus? Or just deliver that message? 😁 (edited) 4y

Aimeesue @LeahBergen I have indeed read it. Not her best, but enjoyable, if a WW2 book can be said to be so. 4y
