We have been selling a wonderful Fotofolio postcard for many years - "The Dutchess of Devonshire Feeding Her Chickens." I never knew much about the Dutchess, except that she looked fabulous in her evening dress, feeding some pretty happy looking chickens. The other day a customer called to special order a dozen of the postcards. (Incidentally, available at Joie de Vivre for $1 and - buyer beware - on Ebay for $4.99!) In the course of our conversation she mentioned that a biography of the Dutchess was being published this fall. Then today, I was browsing on the MacMillan website and found the notice for the book, along with this rather imposing picture. I think I just might have to read that bio . . .
I think the chickens may be hiding beneath that cloak....
