What caught my attention was that it was addressed to Lady Mexborough of whom I can find little apart from she is Catherine Joyce Savile (n\u00e9e Hope) but the first sentence mentions Lady Hylton. Now Lady Hilton was Perdita Rose Mary Joliffe (n\u00e9e Asquith) whose mother was Katherine Frances Asquith (n\u00e9e Horner of the nursery rhyme &#8216;Little Jack Horner&#8217; fame) I can&#8217;t find if Lady Hylton. as an Asquith. was related to Lady Cynthia Asquith but Cynthia does get mentioned in the letter so they may have known each other. In the photo left are Perdita and her sister Helen in the grounds of Mells Manor with St. Andrews Church behind where Frances and Helen are buried in the churchyard along with several of my ancestors on my Mother&#8217;s side! I don&#8217;t move in the exalted circles of the nobility so if any of this is wrong please let me know so I can correct it. The PAN edition is based on the 1955 hardback published by James Barrie, London.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BB.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-13345\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"121\" height=\"166\"><\/a><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the above blog I have included a photo of a Beagle Books cover that has yet to arrive form the States.
