It was a very comforting read as it reminded me of everything that I know and hold dear here in my own country. At more than one point in our trip, I was very homesick for the good ol' US of A and Mitford brought me back to it in my imagination. In the end, I don't think I could have chosen a more perfect book to read than At Home in Mitford. (It was a placeholder for the souvenirs!) Instead, I picked up a cheap, battered up paperback copy which I read and left behind. I own them all in hardback form but didn't want to lug any about due to space concerns. ![]() These books have been overdue for a re-read.

And meanwhile, Sue Storm from the Fantastic Four, the actual superhero Sue Storm, has also been kidnapped by the Frightful four. Iron, Man has rescued them from the kidnapping. It makes it seem almost like a juvenile game between the super villains and the superheroes.Įdward: And in this particular case, two of the top people at, Stark Corp, pepper Pots and Happy, I'm sorry, I don't know Happy's last name.
