Life in the English Country House

Author: Mark Girouard
Stars: 2
Review by: MandyApgar

Nicely organized by chronology - beginning with the mediaeval household and ending with a section on households during the Indian colonial period- this was done pretty well. Minus the irritating spelling of medieval that is. Including the sort of Downton Abbey type dirt on manor houses, it manages to be in depth without being boring. A fairly famous book in its field and for good reason.
