Do Admit! The Mitford Sisters and Me by Mimi Pond Review


Do Admit! (a favourite saying of the sisters) is cartoonist Mimi Pond’s comics biography of the Mitford sisters - Nancy, Unity, Pam, Jessica, Diana, and Deborah - as well as a mini-autobiography of her own, at least in terms of her lifelong fascination with the Mitford family. At nearly 500 pages, the book covers all of the significant parts of the sisters’ lives and puts them in the context of some of the 20th century’s major historical events.
