His lifestyle is on the one hand idyllic, but the author is not a materialist, and in some ways the book is a gentle semi-morality tale. The subject and treatment appealed to Annie Tempest, who chose to put her famous \"\u003ci\u003eTottering by Gentl\u003c\/i\u003ey\" stamp on it, by producing the jacket design and illustrating the text. It will not only appeal to the Downton viewers and Anglophiles, but also \u003ci\u003eCountry Life\u003c\/i\u003e readers and those who love Annie Tempest’s characters and humor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quiller Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039543771376,"sku":"9781870948999","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781870948999_p0.jpg?v=1763602165","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781870948999","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
