520    "Bestselling author the Countess of Carnarvon tells the 
       thrilling behind-the-scenes story of the discovery of the 
       tomb of Tutankhamun on its centennial, and explores the 
       unparalleled life of family ancestor George Herbert--the 
       famed Egyptologist, world-traveler, and 5th Earl of 
       Carnarvon behind it--whose country house, Highclere Castle,
       is the setting of the beloved series Downton Abbey. 
       Drawing on Highclere Castle's archives, the Countess of 
       Carnarvon pays homage to her ancestor on the 100th 
       anniversary of this extraordinary event. In vivid and 
       dramatic detail, she brings into focus the larger-than-
       life characters and lustrous settings--as well as those 
       twists of luck and tragedies that shaped Herbert's life. 
       Across the early 1900s, Highclere saw no less drama than 
       the fictional Downton Abbey, with early tragedies for the 
       Earl and love affairs, as well highs of exorbitant wealth 
       and trials of punishing debt. But above all there was 
       adventure. While Herbert first went to Egypt for his 
       health, this mysterious, romantic land would become a 
       second home; the beloved place where he funneled his 
       attentions over a period of decades, never quite realizing
       how great the fruits of his labors would prove." --
