Lady Glenconner's Travels

Lady Glenconner, Lady-in-Waiting to Princess Margaret, and bestselling author of Lady in Waiting and Manners and Mischief, returns with her latest volume of memoirs, packed with stories of her travels - across the globe, and close to home.

Lady Glenconner turns her inimitable eye to the habits and eccentricities she loves most about the people and places she has had the fortune to explore.

From grand houses and modest villages to idyllic beaches, yachts and embassies, Anne Glenconner tells tales of time-honoured rituals, improbable weather and the quiet comforts of traditions around the world. She tells us about the unique people she has met - the clothes and costumes worn, the parties and personalities she’s encountered - and why exploration continues to captivate her.

A deeply personal love letter to the joys of travel from one of its most remarkable storytellers, drawing on a lifetime at the heart of British life.
