Synopsis

Lady Glenconner turns her inimitable eye to the habits and eccentricities she loves most about the people and places she has had the good fortune to explore. From grand houses and embassies to modest huts and idyllic beaches, Anne Glenconner reveals youthful exploits on sailing boats, surprising incidents at health spas and what it’s really like to be on a state visit with a princess. Whether packing tiaras or coping with tantrums, and drawing on nearly a century of travel, she tells us about the unique people she has met, the extraordinary places she has seen and the experiences that moved her. A deeply personal love letter to the joys of exploration from one of its most remarkable storytellers, drawing on nearly a century at the heart of aristocratic life.

About Anne Glenconner

Lady Glenconner was born Lady Anne Coke in 1932, the eldest daughter of the 5th Earl of Leicester, and growing up in their ancestral estate at Holkham Hall in Norfolk. A Maid of Honour at the Queen's Coronation, she married Lord Glenconner in 1956. They had 5 children together of whom 3 survive. In 1958 she and her husband began to transform the island of Mustique into a paradise for the rich and famous. They granted a plot of land to Princess Margaret who built her favourite home there. She was appointed Lady in Waiting to Princess Margaret in 1971 and kept this role - accompanying her on many state occasions and foreign tours - until her death in 2002. Lord Glenconner died in 2010, leaving everything in his will to his former employee. She now lives in a farmhouse near Kings Lynn in Norfolk.
