Pamela Jackson, nee Mitford, is perhaps the least well known of the
illustrious Mitford sisters, and yet her story is just as
captivating, and more revealing. Despite shunning the bright city
lights that her sisters so desperately craved, she was very much
involved in the activities of her extraordinary family, picking up
the many pieces when things went disastrously wrong - which they so
often did. Joining her sisters on many adventures, including their
meeting with Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany, Pamela quietly observed
the bizarre, funny and often tragic events that took place around
her. Through her eyes, we are given a view of the Mitfords never
seen before. 'Loyal to the core,' she possessed 'the constancy and
kindness that underpinned the wilder exploits of the Mitford
family. Indeed, innocence, along with courage and kindness, was one
of her remarkable qualities. But it was the innocence of a woman
who had lived and suffered, loved and lost, and overcome
adversity'. Journalist Diana Alexander, who was Pamela's friend for
many years, here reveals the unknown Mitford, or, as her lifelong
admirer John Betjeman described her, 'Gentle Pamela'.
