Primetime TV Book Reviews

Behind the Scenes at Downton Abbey -Hardcover
by Emma Rowley (Author) , Gareth Neame (Foreword)

 Review by Suzanne

I've never seen this show, but everyone I know loves it. This book is a great companion piece to the series. It has many beautiful photos and would make a great coffee table book or gift.

The book tells everything you'd ever want to know about how the series was developed, how they cast it, how they chose the castle where a lot of it is filmed; and so much more about the costumes, the story - everything. It's a great book for any fan of the show.
