Christine Robinson was Housekeeper at Chatsworth for 40 years, and caring for it has been a true vocation.
Following the success of her first book, Chatsworth: The Housekeeper's Tale, Christine now invites the reader to join her on a journey through an ordinary house, but with particular reference to a specific House - Chatsworth.
Christine explores the history surrounding everyday objects, and reveals more of Chatsworth's hidden stories from her long experience of working at one of the best-loved houses in the land.
The care of the precious objects at Chatsworth has been her life's work, and here she shares some of the tips she has gleaned along the way, together with an invitation to raise a glass to all those who share the responsibility of turning a house into a home. Tips, tales and tipples - irresistible fare!
With a foreword by the Duchess of Devonshire.
