Becoming an English Country Squire

von D'Arcy Henry

296 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The true story of how one man acquired and managed an English country estate, and lived to tell the tale--complete with illustrations by Annie Tempest, and perfect for all Downton Abbey viewers Bill Dorsey has written a light and amusing but heartfelt memoir about one of the few essentially original, historic English country estates remaining in private hands. His lifestyle is on the one hand idyllic, but the author is not a materialist, and in some ways the book is a gentle semi-morality tale. The subject and treatment appealed to Annie Tempest, who chose to put her famous "Tottering by Gently" stamp on it, by producing the jacket design and illustrating the text. It will not only appeal to the Downton viewers and Anglophiles, but also Country Life readers and those who love Annie Tempest's characters and humor.
