Second edition of The Pocket Guide to Edwardian England, newly revised and expanded. The Edwardian Era simplified, organized, and easy to reference. Aimed towards writers of historical fiction, though genealogists, Downton Abbey fans, and the curious alike will find this an excellent starting point for their own research. Compiled from lectures and blog posts on Edwardian Promenade, as well as 70% more original content, Edwardian England: A Guide to Everyday Life, 1900-1914 poses to give a entry level, but thorough look at the time period made popular by Downton Abbey and Mr. Selfridge.

This was a treasure trove of information on the period, ranging from Edwardian etiquette for a ball to the popular sports of the day. The extensive bibliography list provides readers with numerous resources pertaining to the era. The drawback is that the writing, although strong in the beginning, gets sloppy toward the middle and is rushed at the end. I recommended it as a great historical perspective, so long as poor editing can be looked past .
