I think this is a strong group! The Mattisons are, of course, extremely worthy nominees - they've been part of our lives since before we were even a family. Nancy Mitford is a recent addition to the pantheon, but I think the sheer splendid brilliance of Love in a Cold Climate and the Pursuit of Love merits her inclusion.
