About the book"When she was 13, Lady Diana Spencer's father inherited Althorp, the very grand country house that had been in her family for 20 generations. As a teenager Diana's first encounter with Prince Charles was at a weekend party at Althorp, and there are memorable snapshots of the young Diana practicing ballet on the balustrades and dancing in the marble entrance hall. Some 20 years later she would be buried on a private island on Althorp's grounds.This lively and literate history guides us through Althorp -- from the lease of the lands in 1486, to the follies, foibles, and individual tastes of an aristocratic family, to the conversion of the stable block, a Palladian structure that has been called "the finest piece of architecture at Althorp", into a memorial to Diana." About the author"Charles Edward Maurice Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer, DL, styled Viscount Althorp between 1975 and 1992, is a British peer, author, journalist, and broadcaster.
