Book synopsis

D'Arcy Henry has written this light and amusing but heartfelt memoir about how he came to acquire and then manage one of the few essentially original, historic English country estates remaining in private hands - and lived to tell the tale. His lifestyle is on the one hand idyllic but the author is not a materialist and in some ways the book is a gentle semimorality tale. The subject and treatment appealed to Annie Tempest, who chose to put her famous 'Tottering by Gently' stamp on it, by producing the jacket design and illustrating the text. It will not only appeal to the Downton viewers - and these include American travellers and Anglophiles - but also Country Life readers and those who love Annie Tempest's characters and humour.
