People and Places by James Lees-Milne
This text describes 14 English country houses, including Blickling, Stourhead and Knole. James Lees-Milne seeks to bring the buildings, their owners and their past to life and tells the sometimes cliffhanging tales of their transfer to the hands of the National Trust.
James Lees-Milne wrote several histories and biographies as well as two other classic memoirs Another Self and Fourteen Friends, and eight volumes of diaries: Ancestral Voices, Prophesying Peace, Caves of Ice, Midway on the Waves, A Mingled Measure, Ancient as the Hills, Through Wood and Dale and (just published) Deep Romantic Chasm. He died in 1997.
