[Signed to John Julius Norwich] Buczacki, Stefan. Churchill & Chartwell, The Untold Story of Churchill’s Houses and Gardens. First Edition. 2007. Book and dust jacket are both in very good condition. Book is inscribed on the title page, “John Julius, Thank you for your personal help, Stefan Buczacki, 2007.”
John Julius Norwich (his preferred name over his official title, Viscount Norwich) was the son of Duff and Lady Diana Cooper, one of the most social and fascinating couples of the first half of the 20th Century. They were in the same political and social circles as Winston Churchill. In fact, Duff Cooper was Prime Minister Churchill’s Secretary of the Admiralty during World War II. As such, Norwich was no stranger to Churchill or his homes, and the author devotes an entire paragraph to thanking John Julius in the acknowledgements section of the book. The subject of the book examines the great English leader through the prism of the homes he occupied, including, most prominently, Chartwell, the country estate he occupied with his wife Clementine for over forty years.
“Although the coming six years [of World War II] were for Churchill to be politically all consuming, domestic life had to continue. The family still had to live, bills to paid, houses to be run.”
--Stefan Buczacki
