"An imaginative, often cinematic romp. Do Admit: The Mitford Sisters and Me sprawls with spats, rifts, scandalous affairs, and political intrigue."-Robert Ito, The New York Times "Pond''s witty visuals and sharp prose make Do Admit the best group biography of the Mitford Sisters to date."-Marc Weingarten, Los Angeles Times "Irresistible."- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "A spectacular, dizzying romp through the tumult of the twentieth century. Her kinetic drawings and boisterous, endlessly inventive layouts somehow bring coherence to the sprawling, branching plots of her subjects'' lives. The visual world Pond creates is phantasmagoric, drawing on deep veins of vintage graphic design. And her grip on the words is equally deft.

She''s clearly spent so much time steeping in the rich textual legacy that this family has left the world--their books, letters and secret family lingo--that she begins to sound suspiciously like a seventh member of this sophisticated and scandalous sorority. Brava." --Alison Bechdel, Fun Home "Whether you know nothing (or everything) about the infamous Mitfords you will be wildly entertained by this exhaustive tome about them. A massive work almost big enough to encompass the enormous egos and lives of these fascinating (and sometimes frightening) woman. Told with wry charm and wit (the kind the Mitfords themselves might have appreciated) and endlessly visually-inventive. It is the sort of historical biography that will remind you that, yes, truth is always stranger than fiction." --Seth, Clyde Fans "Mimi Pond''s Do Admit is a dazzling, acrobatic swirl of graphic invention. It mingles the fascinating story of the famous, fabulous sisters with scenes from the author''s glamour-starved childhood in 1950s San Diego.

Pond''s dry humour fits seamlessly with that of her eccentric British characters, but she is at her empathetic best portraying the heartbreaking losses and turns of fortune they endure. Her love for them shines forth from every page." --Maurice Vellekoop, I''m So Glad We Had This Time Together "An expansive graphic history rendered in washes of Prussian Blue that dissolve the temporal boundaries between Pond and the sisters."-Andi Zeisler, Salon icated and scandalous sorority.
