For the Countess of Carnarvon, stewarding the legacy of Highclere means safeguarding stories of the generations who have lived within its walls. Her first historical book, the New York Times best-selling Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey, draws on the archives of Highclere Castle to reveal the intriguing past of one of its most famous inhabitants, the 5th Countess of Carnarvon. Other titles in the series include Lady Catherine and the Real Downton Abbey, which explores castle life in the 1930s and 1940s, and her recently released The Earl and the Pharaoh, which chronicles the 5th Earl of Carnarvon’s discovery of one of the foremost archaeological finds of the twentieth century. Other volumes, such as the hardcover Seasons at Highclere: Gardening, Growing, and Cooking Through the Year at the Real Downton Abbey, invite readers into the everyday rhythms of English country life.
