British Country Alphabet

British Country Alphabet

This is the first book in a three-volume series from the New England Historic Genealogical Society that will enchant seasoned country house visitors. Covering the letters A through H, readers will learn surprising snippets of history that occurred at, or because of, a country house in England, Scotland, or Wales. Entries dive into fascinating moments of British cultural history - from tea to bananas, from Canaletto to Agatha Christie, and from porcelain to ghosts.
