Requests:  0 Summary:  "Drawing on thousands of memoirs, unpublished letters and diaries, and the eye-witness testimonies of belted earls and bibulous butlers, historian Adrian Tinniswood brings the stately homes of England to life as never before, opening the door onto a world half-remembered, glamorous, shameful at times, and forever wrapped in myth. The Long Weekend revels in the sheer variety of country house life: from King George V poring over his stamp collection at Sandringham to fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley collecting mistresses at ancestral homes across the nation, from Edward VIII entertaining Wallis Simpson at Fort Belvedere to the Duke of Marlborough at Blenheim, whose wife became obsessed with her pet spaniels. Tinniswood reveals what it was really like to live and work in some of the most beautiful houses the world has ever seen during the last great golden age of the English country home"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 305.52094 Ti Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.52094 Tinnis Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.52094 Ti Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.52094 Ti Checked In Add Copy to MyList
