The Bookshop at 10 Curzon Street: Letters Between Nancy Mitford and Heywood Hill 1952-73 | Nancy Mitford, John Saumarez Smith, Heywood Hill
Nancy Mitford was a brilliant personality, a remarkable novelist and a legendary letter writer. It is not widely known that she was also a bookseller. Her letters to Heywood Hill advise on recent French titles that might appeal to him and his customers, gossip about life in Paris, and enquire about the reception of her own books.
