A Fine Guidebook,
By
This review is from: Chequers (Hardcover)
This well illustrated, well researched book tells you most everything you might want to know about Chequers. (Did you know the place was donated to the British Government by an American woman?) The author first goes through the history of the place, stretching back many centuries, then takes you on a tour of the major rooms and their unique furnishings, then tells you some very entertaining tales about each of the prime ministers who've resided there, as well as their VIP guests. She has amusing stories about everyone from Kitchener to Bill Clinton (I especially liked her story about Harold Macmillan and Anthony Trollope). Norma Major, as the wife of a former prime minister herself, was ideally qualified to write this fine book and she's done an outstanding job. Any Anglophile will enjoy it.
