A lavish look at the real world--both the secret history
and the behind-the-scenes drama--of the spellbinding Emmy
Award-winning Masterpiece TV series Downton Abbey
April 1912. The sun is rising behind Downton Abbey, a
great and splendid house in a great and splendid park. So
secure does it appear that it seems as if the way it
represents will last for another thousand years. It
won't.
Millions of American viewers were enthralled by the world of
Downton Abbey, the mesmerizing TV drama of the
aristocratic Crawley family--and their servants--on
the verge of dramatic change. On the eve of Season
2 of the TV presentation, this gorgeous book--illustrated
with sketches and research from the production team, as well
as on-set photographs from both seasons--takes us even
deeper into that world, with fresh insights into the
story and characters as well as the social history.
