Description

See what all the fuss is about—or relive the drama—with season 1 & 2 DVDs of PBS’s acclaimed production Downton Abbey. Described by The Wall Street Journal as “impossible to resist,” Downton Abbey depicts the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their servants on a Yorkshire estate during the reign of King George V. Get to know the history behind the drama with 2 books: The World of Downton Abbey, and Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey by Lady Fiona Carnarvon, the current Countess of Highclere Castle, where the series is filmed. From Random House, Inc.: “Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey tells the story behind Highclere Castle and the life of one of its most famous inhabitants, Lady Almina, the 5th Countess of Carnarvon….This rich tale contrasts the splendor of Edwardian life in a great house against the backdrop of the First World War and offers an inspiring and revealing picture of the woman at the center of the history of Highclere Castle.”
