The vision of living in a world of grand spaces, beautiful furniture, historic paintings and elaborate gardens is immensely appealing, and the author lived this dream for seven years at Felbrigg Hall, Norfolk, a fine National Trust property, where her husband was administrator. However her lifestyle was closer to the servants of the past rather than the aristocrats, as at one time an army of servants kept the house in order, but now only a handful of staff provide the same service for its thousands of visitors. In this memoir she reveals what goes on behind the scenes not only of Felbrigg Hall but of stately homes all over the country. NOT EX LIB D4C. Near Fine/Near Fine.
