Downton Abbey has captured the imagination of the nation. Written by Oscar-winning writer Julian Fellowes the show has become the benchmark for quality drama, and a commentary on all things British. Downton Abbey portrays a world of elegance and decadence, a world of duty and obedience and a world of romance and rivalry: this companion book, full of rich historical detail, takes fans deeper into that period than ever before. Step inside one of the most beautiful houses in Britain, past Carson the butler at the front door and into the grand hallway. Catch a glimpse of the family having drinks in the drawing room before dinner, dressed in their evening finery, whilst Lord Grantham finishes writing a letter in his study. Then climb the grand sweeping staircase to the maze of rooms upstairs and peak through Lady Mary's open door to see Anna, her maid, tidying scent bottles and jewellery on the ornate dressing table. Follow Anna down the servants' stairs and into the kitchens to watch Mrs Patmore frantically preparing dinner. Mrs Hughes keeps a watchful eye from her study and the world of Downton comes alive before you. Experience the inner workings of the downstairs life and be dazzled by the glamour of upstairs life with profiles of all the major characters, interviews with the actors, behind the scenes insights and in-depth information on costumes and props.

I have always loved the period of English history pre World War 1. In particular, the era from 1800 to 1913. The old world moving to the new world.
Re-reading this series of 3 books during Christmas time 2021 is a joy.
Downton Abbey ( 2010 -2015 ) is a wonderful TV drama series on the lives of Earl Grantham Crawley, his mom The Dowager Countess of Grantham, his wife Countess Cora and his 3 daughters Lady Mary, Lady Edith and Lady Sybil in their Yorkshire country estate Downton Abbey in England.
The series covered the years from 1912 to 1926. This is thus the glorious Edwardian period as Edward VII had succeeded his mom Queen Victoria who died in 1901.
Edward VII was succeeded by George V, Edward VIII ( who abdicated), George VI and now Elizabeth II.
This official companion to series 1 and 2 has many beautiful photographs and articles. Highly recommended.
