Lady Anne Glenconner invites both old friends and new acquaintances to join her in The Picnic Papers. Together, they explore the curious British obsession with dining alfresco, despite our famously unpredictable weather.

From

the peaks of the Himalayas to the historic grounds of Hampton Court, there's

always a perfect spot for a picnic!

Picnics, it turns out, spark strong opinions. HRH Princess Margaret

insisted on having hers at a proper table, while the indefatigable John

Julius Norwich enjoyed 147 picnics over seven weeks in the Sahara. In stark

contrast, writer James Lee Milne simply loathed them.

Brimming with extraordinary tales and nostalgic recipes, Lady Anne

Glenconner's Picnic Papers is an invitation to a delightful feast of

memories and culinary delights.
