Softcover. London, Faber & Faber, reprint, 1986, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 276 pages. This work is a sequel to the author's wartime diaries - "Ancestral voices" and "Prophesying peace", and takes the story on into 1946-47 around England on behalf of the National Trust. James Lees-Milne is known as much for his work shaping the National Trust's collection of significant English country houses as for his diaries detailing upper and upper-middle class life in the mid-twentieth century. For a pupil who showed little promise he defied scholarly estimation to publish some 34 books. Clean copy.
