D is for Downton Abbey


Don't despair, there is life after Downton...in print!  Tens of thousands of viewers tuned in to Downton Abbey over its six seasons on PBS.  The ups and downs of the Crawley family, along with the Dowager Countess' bon mots, became conversation topics for people from all walks of life.  Publishers were quick to hop on this interest and published a variety of books.  Here are a few from my collection.


The World of Downton Abbey introduced us to the Crawley family as we knew them in  Season 1.


The Great War has ended and life at Downton takes many new turns in The Chronicles of Downton Abbey.


My current favorite, A Year in the Life of Downton Abbey, detailing all of the celebrations and events during the year for an aristocratic family.


A lovely gift from three wonderful friends, The Unofficial Downton Abbey Cookbook.

These two are heading onto my Amazon Wish List.

  1. Oh, I "hear" that PBS is doing a show very similiar to Downton and I hope that's true. I did love that show so much and hated when it ended. Happy midweek!
