I quite enjoyed this story of Althorp, the ancestral home of the author, who is the 9th Earl and also the brother of the late Diana, Princess of Wales. A well written history of a lovely home, its owners over the centuries, some marvellous photographs of both the house, the grounds and outbuildings as well as the lovely treasures and artworks inside. He brings a "personal" touch to the facts that makes it quite readable and not just a history lesson.
This is a very special book for me, a marvellous absorbing history and personally signed by Charles Spencer for me!
