If you thought living in a stately home was all gleaming banisters, visiting aristocracy, and priceless antiques—read on. The sequel to Cobwebs and Cream Teas, this volume continues the often amusing story of life behind the scenes at a National Trust house, describing the pleasures and pains—dry rot, blocked drains, and bubblegum on the Meissen—of running Felbrigg Hall in Norfolk.
