Windsor Castle is the oldest continuously occupied palace in the world. As bad luck would have it, the fire that swept through the Castle on 20 November 1992 destroyed or severely damaged nine of the finest state apartments and more than 100 other rooms. In this book Adam Nicolson details the Royal Household's immediate response and the choices that face it: what to restore and how to restore it. As the archaeologcal discoveries during the restoration made clear, few buildings in the world have had so much of such high quality poured into them over so many centuries.
