Nancy Lancaster: English Country House Style
Consider Martin Wood's Nancy Lancaster: English Country House Style for anyone with an interest in decorating and social history. American born and serially well-married, Lancaster spent most of her adult life in England, doing u a succession of grand houses in a style that was at once traditional and boldly modern. In the 1940s she bought the venerable Colefax & Fowler design firm, turning a pastime into a profession--another bold, modern stroke for a woman of her time and class. --Town & Country
