It's all here, from humble beginnings to loftiest heights. The book tells of the creation of splendid Chatsworth and it's equally important cousin Hardwick Hall. The book ends with the 11th Duke, because that's who held the office at the time of publication. I wish the book was updated to include the story of the 12th Duke, Stoker, and his wife, Amanda, who both work tirelessly to ensure that Chatsworth continues on.
Very good reading! ( )
