Toni Morrison and the Queer Pleasure of Ghosts

Since the moment we first entered Downton Abbey in 1912, we have been swept away by Julian Fellowes' evocative world of romance, intrigue, drama and tradition. Now, in 1925, as Downton Abbey prepares to close its doors for the final time, Jessica Fellowes leads us through the house and estate, reliving the iconic moments of the wonderfully aristocratic Crawley family and their servants as they navigate the emerging modern age. Travelling from great hall to servants' hall, bedroom to boot room, we glimpse as we go all our favourite scenes from the show including Matthew and Isobel Crawley arriving for the first time, the death of Kemal Pamuk, Cora's tragic miscarriage, Lady Sybil's new trousers, Thomas and O'Brien's scheming, Anna and Bates's troubles with the law, Edith jilted at the altar and Carson's proposal to Mrs Hughes. Alongside this will be in-depth interviews with the cast and crew who have worked on the show for six years and know it so well, and a fascinating look at the changing style and fashions of Downton through the years. Packed full of stunning location shots and stills from all six series including exclusive behind-the-scenes photography from the iconic final series, plus gorgeous bespoke illustrations, this celebratory book is the ultimate gift for Downton Abbey fans the world over.
