Madresfield
Romantic, turreted, ancient, Madresfield Court has been the home of the Lygon family for over 900 years. Beneath the Malvern Hills, it is a lived-in family home in which the heraldic sits next to the domestic. The Lygons were the inspiration and model for the doomed Marchmain family in Evelyn Wagh's Brideshead Revisited: Waugh was a regular visitor in the 1930s, one in a long line of writers, composers, painters, royals and rebels who passed through Madresfield's doors. Drawing on a unique and virtually unknown archive that dates back to the Conquest, Jane Mulvagh illuminates a rich and dramatic history.

Vivienne Westwood: An Unfashionable Life
The first biographical portrait of one of England’s great eccentrics and leading fashion designers – the outrageously controversial fashion anarchist, agent provocateur and sacred cow of the international fashion world, Vivienne Westwood. Jane Mulvagh reveals the truth behind the bizarre and often controversial public image. Speaking to Westwood herself, her friends,lovers, colleagues, rivals, admirers and tractors, and drawing on her own expertise as a fashion historian, she has created a portrait as rich, distinctive and constantly surprising as her subject's character and work.

Newport Houses
The architectural heritage of Newport, Rhode Island encompasses the rich and lively history of the people who have lived there. Simple clapboard houses and religious buildings exist in the same context as the opulent summer cottages and mansions, built with the finest materials available.
