Since the moment we first entered Downton Abbey in 1912, we have been swept away by Julian Fellowes’s 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 Matthew and Isobel Crawley arriving for the first time, the death of Kemal Pamuk, Cora’s tragic miscarriage, Edith’s affair with Michael Gregson, Mary’s new haircut, Thomas and O’Brien’s scheming, Anna and Bates’s troubles with the law, and Carson’s marriage to Mrs Hughes.
Alongside are in-depth interviews with the cast, who have worked on the show for six years and know it so well, as well as a complete episode guide for the first five seasons and a teaser for the sixth. Packed full of stunning location shots and stills from all six seasons of the show including exclusive behind-the-scenes photography, this celebratory book is the ultimate gift for Downton Abbey fans the world over.

So I’d recommend reading this only after you’ve seen season six (unless you don’t mind having it spoiled; everyone has their own sensitivity to this sort of thing). **”Downton Abbey – A Celebration” is going to be a…
Great book to add to your collection or buy as a gift for a fan but⦠.â¦be forewarned that the cover note “Includes Season 6 Spoilers” is accurate. From small details in the text and some of the, as always, beautiful photography to a near complete (except for the series finale, which hasn’t been shown in the UK yet) season by season and episode by episode summary of the series- little details are sprinkled throughout. You don’t get much, it won’t spoil things for most fans or other readers. The book is bigger than the others in the series but not…
Anything Downton! Another beautiful Downton Abbey book. I have 4 others by Julian Fellowes/Jessica Fellowes and many of the pictures in this latest book are from the older books. May be a waste of money, but when it comes to anything Downton, you can never have too many authentically written by the Fellowes team.
