People and Places by James Lees-Milne
Describes 14 houses, including Knole, Blickling, Stourhead and Cotehele which the author was responsible for bringing into the care of the National Trust. It brings the owners, the buildings and their pasts to life as the sometimes cliffhanging story of their passing to the Trust is documented.
James Lees-Milne was educated at Eton and Magdalen College, Oxford. He was the first Secretary of the National Trust's Buildings Committee and he was in charge of its country houses and historic buildings. Roman Mornings won the Heinemann Award, as did his biography of Harold Nicolson. Venetian Evenings, a companion work to Roman Mornings, is also published by New Amsterdam.
