Sometimes the facts are even more extraordinary than the fiction... This book tells the story of Lady Catherine, a beautiful American girl who became the chatelaine of Highclere Castle, the setting for Julian Fellowes' award-winning drama Downton Abbey. Charming & charismatic, Catherine caught the eye of Lord Porchester (or ' Porchey', as he was known) when she was just 20 years old, & wearing a pale yellow dress at a ball. She had already turned down 14 proposals before she eventually married Porchey in 1922. But less than a year later Porcheys father died suddenly, & he became the 6th Earl of Carnarvon, inheriting a title & a Castle that changed both their lives forever. Catherine found herself suddenly in charge of a small army of household staff, & hosting lavish banquets & weekend house parties. Although the couple were very much in love, considerable challenges lay ahead for Catherine. They were immediately faced with the task of saving Highclere when debts threatened to destroy the estate. As the 1920s moved to a close, Catherines adored brother died & Catherine began to lose her husband to the distractions London had to offer. When the Second World War broke out, life at the Castle would never be the same again. Drawing on rich material from the private archives at Highclere, including beautiful period photographs, the current Countess of Carnarvon transports us back to the thrilling & alluring world of the ?real Downton Abbey? & its inhabitants. ...

With its four-letter words & its explicit descriptions of sexual intercourse, Lady Chatterley's Lover is the novel with which D. H. Lawrence is most often associated. First published privately in Florence in 1928, it only became a worldwide best-seller after Penguin Books had successfully resisted an attempt by the British Director of Public Prosecutions to prevent them offering an unexpurgated edition to the general public. The famous `trial of Lady Chatterley' heralded the sexual revolution of the coming decades & signalled the defeat of Establishment prudery. Yet Lawrence himself was hardly a liberationist & the conservatism of many aspects of his novel would later lay it open to attacks from the political avant-garde & from feminists. The story of how the wife of Sir Clifford Chatterley responds when her husband returns from the war paralysed from the waist down, & of the tender love which then develops between her & her husband's gamekeeper, is a complex one open to a variety of conflicting interpretations. This edition of the novel offers an occasion for a new generation of readers to discover what all the fuss was about; to appraise Lawrence's bitter indictment of modern industrial society, & to ask themselves what lessons there might be for the 21st century in his intense exploration of the complicated relations between love & sex. ...
