520 2  "Drawing on thousands of memoirs, unpublished letters and 
       diaries, and the eye-witness testimonies of belted earls 
       and bibulous butlers, historian Adrian Tinniswood brings 
       the stately homes of England to life as never before, 
       opening the door onto a world half-remembered, glamorous, 
       shameful at times, and forever wrapped in myth. The Long 
       Weekend revels in the sheer variety of country house life:
       from King George V poring over his stamp collection at 
       Sandringham to fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley collecting
       mistresses at ancestral homes across the nation, from 
       Edward VIII entertaining Wallis Simpson at Fort Belvedere 
       to the Duke of Marlborough at Blenheim, whose wife became 
       obsessed with her pet spaniels. Tinniswood reveals what it
       was really like to live and work in some of the most 
       beautiful houses the world has ever seen during the last 
       great golden age of the English country home"--|cProvided
