As the daughter of a butler and a lady's maid, Enid Elliott Linder spent her early childhood 'below stairs' in some of England's grandest country houses. Yet as Britain headed towards the Second World War, the family moved to a Marylebone tenement, and life as they knew it was never the same again. Heart-warming and at times tragic, this is a charming and uniquely personal memoir of family life in pre-war London. Book jacket.
