Book Review of Below Stairs: The Classic Kitchen Maid's Memoir That Inspired 'Upstairs, Downstairs' and 'Downton Abbey'

Below Stairs: The Classic Kitchen Maid's Memoir That Inspired 'Upstairs, Downstairs' and 'Downton Abbey'
reviewed on


This is a quick and easy read, but still endlessly enjoyable for a Downton Abbey fan like myself. I don't know if it will evoke the same feelings in someone who has not watched Downton Abbey, but for me, each page was accompanied by a vicarious nostalgia for the days of Lord and Lady Grantham.
