‘A Downton Anthology’ is a series of volumes of that name which together constitute an anthology based on the many references to literature contained throughout the Downton Abbey series. Since some of the works referred to can be daunting in size, we are publishing a series of readers which include extracts from the larger books and in some cases the entirety of the smaller ones. Our series is intended to give Downton devotees a ‘taste’ of some of the books referred to and to enable them to decide which works they would like to read in greater depth.
