The Verneys - A True Story of Love, War, and Madness in Seventeenth-Century England (Paperback)

?A lively, almost novelistic account of an aristocratic family?("The New Yorker") drawn from an unprecedented number of personal papers.
The Verneys had a country estate, a seat in Parliament, and an astonishing habit: for four centuries generations of the family saved every piece of correspondence that came into their possession. The result is the largest private collection of letters and documents in the world?an extraordinary foundation for Adrian Tinniswood's family chronicle, one that ?breathes life into the turbulent history of an entire century? (Ross King, author of "Brunelleschi's Dome").
