Outrageous: The Mitford Letters: Rob Rinder and Leticia Lentini

The fascination with the Mitford sisters is endless. The glamour. The tragedy. The scandal. Each pursued wildly different paths - communism and fascism - often at a great personal cost.

Recognised for their beauty, eccentricity, conflicting political views, and sharp intellect, the six Mitford sisters were undoubtedly the ultimate ‘It Girls’ of the 20th century.

They’ve spawned numerous biographies and collected letters, as well as their own books including Decca and Diana Mitford’s autobiographies and Nancy Mitford’s glittering novels. The sisters are also the subject of a TV biopic – Outrageous – on UKTV, starring Bessie Carter, Orla Hill, Will Attenborough, James Purefoy, and Anna Chancellor.

TV personality, the barrister and author Rob Rinder, has long had a slight obsession with the sisters, as has Leticia Lentini, who runs the Whitby-based publisher, Crow Emporium.

Join them and Jessica Mitford’s son, Benjamin Treuhaft, as they delve into the explosive scandal and heartache.
