Book Review of Lady Catherine, the Earl, and the Real Downton Abbey

Lady Catherine, the Earl, and the Real Downton Abbey

Sure to be enjoyed by Downton Abbey fans, this tells the actual social history of the family that lives in Highclere (where the show is filmed) from 1923-1945. I think there's enough detail about war to appeal to history buffs and enough scandal (divorce, affairs) for those who prefer stories to dates in their history lesson.
