Carol Wallace signs To Marry an English Lord.
Carol Wallace speaks and signs her book, "To Marry an English Lord" which is of particular interest for fans of Downton Abbey. From the Gilded Age until 1914, more than 100 American heiresses invaded Britannia and swapped dollars for titles--just like Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham, the first of the Downton Abbey characters Julian Fellowes was inspired to create after reading To Marry An English Lord.
