Publisher's Synopsis
A complete pictorial guide, with a 40,000 word text by its owner Charles Spencer, to the great English house of Althorp in Northamptonshire where Princess Diana grew up and is buried. Althorp became the principal home of the Spencers in the late 16th century, and now contains one of the greatest private art collections in the country. Charles Spencer traces the history of the house, and in particular writes about the changes that he has made since he inherited it and since the death of Diana. Superbly illustrated in full colour, this is the definitive book on a subject where there is enormous public interest.
