Wood, Martin A., 1959-

Nancy Lancaster : English country house style / Martin Wood.

London : Frances Lincoln, 2005.

200 pages : illustrations, portraits ; 29 cm

"In this book Martin Wood explores Nancy Lancaster's contribution to the arts of interior decoration and garden design by carefully analysing her own houses and gardens - large and small - and her work for Colefax and Fowler, the decorating business she bought from Sibyl Colefax in 1944. He also chronicles her remarkable life: her three very different marriages ('I was always better at picking butlers and husbands'); her dynamic design partnership with John Fowler; her interactions with friends and guests including her aunt Nancy Astor, Duff and Lady Diana Cooper, the Duchess of Devonshire (then Deborah Mitford), David Niven, Anthony Eden and - in the darkest days of the Second World War - Winston Churchill."
"The story is illustrated by a collection of images of Nancy, her houses, her gardens and her friends, by celebrated artists and photographers of the era, including John Singer Sargent, John Lavery, Alexandre Serebriakoff, Cecil Beaton and Horst P. Horst."--Jacket.
