Griffith, Aline, The Countess of Quintanilla. The Earth Rests Lightly. First Edition. 1963. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in good plus condition—jacket shows some creasing and a tiny chip.
The life story of Aline Griffith could have been written by Ian Fleming. In this memoir, she recalls her extraordinary ascent from American model to World War II secret agent to Spanish aristocrat. It was while spying on Spanish society during the war that she met her future husband, the Count of Quintanilla [following this book’s publication, his grandfather died and they became the Count and Countess of Romanones]. Along the way, she gave birth to three children, decorated a glamorous hacienda, and was named to the Best Dressed List Hall of Fame.
