Adrian Tinniswood
The House Party explores privilege and leisure in the glamorous world of
the country house, showing the reader what it was really like to spend a
weekend with the sedate antiquarian and the Jazz Age industrialist, the
bibulous belted earl and the bright young thing with a twist of cocaine
in his or her overnight bag. Tinniswood reveals how the great and good
partied at mansions such as Knole and Dunham Massey and what a
discreet weekend gathering at Winston Churchill’s Chartwell might entail.

history. A Senior Research Fellow at University of Buckingham and a                                                                                  Faber & Faber

Chartwell
Sarah Gristwood and Margaret Gaskin
‘A day away from Chartwell is a day wasted.’ So said Sir Winston Churchill
of his home in Kent. An understanding of this Elizabethan manor is
fundamental to understanding Churchill: it was his inspiration, his refuge
and his obsession. In this beautifully illustrated book, Sarah Gristwood
and Margaret Gaskin trace every phase of his life, always circling back to
Chartwell – just as the great man himself did.

you. You can be mindful in the garden or on a country walk or at your desk

Smuggler’s Daughter
Philip Ardagh and Jamie Littler
Kitty Cask is a smuggler’s daughter. In the Cornish coastal village of
Minnock, Kitty and her family make their living as ‘free traders’ – secretly
bringing contraband goods into the country while evading the corrupt
redcoats who work for the King. Kitty isn’t supposed to be involved in any
of her father’s schemes ... but she’s very good at creeping out at night,
and before too long she is caught in the thick of the action – salvaging
shipwrecks, staging prison breaks and staying one step ahead of the
tyrannical excisemen!

Homes Through History
Goldie Hawk and Sarah Gibb
In this beautifully detailed, laser-cut book, children can travel back in time
and explore homes from seven different eras: late Middle Ages, Tudor,
Georgian, Victorian, 1920s, 1960s and present day. Peek through the
windows, discover the rooms inside and spot the family members. Then,
learn a bit more about the family, spot the pieces of furniture that appear
in more than one house, and find out what people wore in each era – from
kirtles and crinolines to flat caps and flapper dresses.                                          Nosy Crow
