Description

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.
