Twilight of the Ascendancy |
An entertaining account of the last years of the Ascendancy in Ireland (1870 - 1970) when many of the owners of ancestral homes still managed to survive and even live it up despite the collapse of all around them. Many amusing anecdotes. Eccentrics galore. (Jeremy Swann - bwl 3 May 2000) |
