It's a very witty correspondance in general which makes you glad you were never anywhere near Evelyn Waugh, especially in his capacity as a father. The correspondance editor, btw, who one other than Charlotte Mosley, aka female Draco daughter of Narcissa Malfoy Diana Mitford Mosley, who evidently didn't let Nancy's feud with her mother stop her. (Since Nancy had, as mentioned, no kids of her own, Charlotte probably inherited as the offspring of the next oldest sister). One of my favourite bits is Nancy reporting the reaction of her Cousin, Winston Churchill's son Randolph (the Churchills were related to the Mitfords via Winston's wife Clemmie, and given the whole Mosley-as-leader-of-British-fascists Thing, it was, well, extra), to Brideshead Revisited: "I shall never commit adultery with the same zeal again!"
Mind you, since Nancy's father did such stuff as keeping his hunting dogs in shape by letting them track his children, her views on parenting (both FW's and Evelyn Waughs') might have been, err, less than informed by anything like a normal Standard.

And lastly, it had to exist: The Mitford Sisters/Harry Potter crossover.
