First edition. Signed by the author on the title page. 478pp, plus two central sections of colour plate illustrations, richly illustrated endpapers. In purple cloth-covered boards with gilt lettering on spine (boards are strong and clean, just a little rounded at spine tips). Internally neat, clean and bright. Firmly bound. In its original dust jacket (lightly bumped at edges, gently sunned on spine). With the help of previous unpublished material from the rich Chatsworth archives, Hattersley reveals how the Devonshire dynasty made and lost a fortune, fought and fornicated, built great houses, patronised the arts and pioneered the railways, made great scientific discoveries and, eventually, came to terms with changing times. Large 8vo.
