Jullian Fellowes, the creator of the wildly popular television program Downton Abbey, admits that at the time he was developing the show he was reading Carol Wallace's book "To Marry An English Lord Tales Of Wealth, And Marriage, And Sex And Snobbery". Easy to see how he was inspired by this read. Carol's book took me back to my collecting days when I had Victorian fans, walking sticks, Victorian lamps, my Belter Rosewood tables and Charles Eastlake chairs and couch. So cozy relaxing while surrounded by Victoriana. It was a magical era! Carol McD. Wallace, who now prefers to be known as just Carol Wallace, she'll explain why in the interview, loved the Victorian era as much as I enjoy reminiscing about it. In her book, that is a pleasure to read, she has included era period photos, interesting facts, quotes, diagrams of homes and rooms, customs and stories about some of the people who lived then, back in the day. It is easy and fun reading for all ages and for those especially interested in this period in time...The Victorian Era!
