Here is the volume 3 of The Herries Chronicles by Hugh Walpole.

In his own words, his goal in these 4 main volumes (plus 2 connecting volumes), is this:

"...to record scenes from the life of an English family during two hundred years of English change and fortune, and beyond that to pay a tribute to a part of England that I dearly love.

"Judith Paris may be read as a quite independent novel, but the four books are seen together in my mind as a piece of gaily-tinted tapestry worked in English colours"

I'll be working on volume 4 today, or perhaps I'll go out and have a beer first.:)

I hope you enjoy it.
