At first, life at Highclere was a dizzying mix of sumptuous banquets for 500 and even the occasional royal visitor. But when the First World War broke out, life at Highclere changed forever. History intervened and Almina and the staff of Highclere were thrown into one of the most turbulent times of the last century. Almina was forced to draw on her deepest reserves of courage in order to ensure her family, the staff and the castle survived..* A NEAR FINE text copy of the 1st/1st. with some minimal faults in a VG+ protected dust jacket.*
