Summary:
"In this book Martin Wood explores Nancy Lancaster's contribution to the arts of interior decoration and garden design by carefully analysing her own houses and gardens - large and small - and her work for Colefax and Fowler, the decorating business she bought from Sibyl Colefax in 1944. He also chronicles her remarkable life: her three very different marriages ('I was always better at picking butlers and husbands'); her dynamic design partnership with John Fowler; her interactions with friends and guests including her aunt Nancy Astor, Duff and Lady Diana Cooper, the Duchess of Devonshire (then Deborah Mitford), David Niven, Anthony Eden and - in the darkest days of the Second World War - Winston Churchill."
