Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey: The Lost Legacy of Highclere Castle by The Countess of Carnovon; it is a book I stumbled on when trying to buy a book about Victoria and Albert. We enjoyed Downton Abbey so I wanted to know all about the place and that book just landed on my iPad with a push of a few buttons.
The story of Lady Almina is interesting. It is not particularly well written but it does what I wanted, which was to find more about the old house. The society in England at the time was ridiculous and doomed, but the people never really knew it was all falling down. They thought it would go on for ever.
If you enjoyed Downton Abbey, you will enjoy Lady Almina.
