description: Violet Liddle's charming account offers glimpses into another world and another time---into the private lives of the good and the great. She recounts her fascinating experiences as she served as parlour-maid to George Bernard Shaw and Winston Churchill before and during World War II. Because of her real-life upstairs/ downstairs experiences, she was an advisor to the filmmakers of and actors in the Academy Award-winning movie, Gosford Park. In Serving the Good and the Great, Violet shares her eyewitness account of some of the most important and powerful people of the 20th Century---from Churchill to Eisenhower, from Lady Astor to George Bernard Shaw---always in the light of her trust in God, 'whose service is perfect freedom'.
