A must read for anyone wondering what English nobility is like and how it exists in modern society. No matter your opinions on nobility, you will enjoy the concise, understandable, explanations of the peerage and the sometimes hilarious anectodes about life as a peer and those who come in contact with them.

There is plenty of descriptive information about peerage as well as educational data. Funnier and more enlightening than a read through an excyclopedia article, this book will give you a personal look into the lives of the peers and acquaint you with the class system still in place in the U.K.

At some points rather heavily written, the burdensom prose is punctuated with very comedic stories of the peers and their interaction with modern soceity.

For a funny, accurate and fairly objective consideration of the whole concept of English nobility, read "Their Noble Lordships." If nothing else, you will have a good time and know how to properly address a Duke or Baron should you ever meet one.
