| Knole and the Sackvilles: one house, one family, their destinies intertwined in a story four centuries long. Warriors and artists, hedonists and rebels, a family described by Vita Sackville-West as 'a rotten lot, and nearly all stark staring mad', their spirit fills every nook and cranny of this grand mansion house at Knole. Inheritance is the story of this house of Sackvilles, as told by its latest inhabitant. Follow Rober Sackville-West on a private tour of this very public place, through the memories and memorabilia of his extraordinary family. 'Inheritance is nopt only a family history. It is a contribution to the history of the English aristocracy'

'Essential reading for anybody interested in the history and survival of the English country house in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries' Literary Review 'Witty, English and crisp, with a poetic lilt that not only makes one want to read about Knole... but move in...
