520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. "Although Diana Holderness's glamourous parents, Myrtie and Flash Kennett, hunted with the Prince of Wales, the family fortunes fluctuated wildly and sometimes her pocket-money was stopped. Her parents preferred these extremes to the humdrum middle. They liked 'The Ritz and the ditch'. In 1947 she married Richard Wood, the youngest son of Lord Halifax, formerly Viceroy of India, Foreign Secretary, and wartime Ambassador to Washington. Richard was elected MP for Bridlington in 1950 and held minsterial office under three Conservative leaders. Diana provides an insider's view of the Wood family, especially of her father-in-law with whom she got on well; but ultimately it is her own personality that shines through. Spry, outspoken, enterprising, given to high-voltage likes and dislikes, occasionally lawless, she seems to have feared nothing except air travel and horses. These qualities make for a lively read." --
