Mrs Catherine Gladstone
Catherine Glynne was born in 1812, in the same year as Charles Dickens. An earl's daughter she married the son of a self-made merchant, William Ewart Gladstone, who became Queen Victoria's Prime Minister on four occasions. While the Queen and the PM loathed each other, they both loved Catherine, Gladstone's wife. After a long and indecisive courtship, Gladstone said of his new wife that my Cathie forever twinkles.

Entitled
"A proudly partisan history of the British aristocracy - which scores some shrewd hits against the upper class themselves, and the nostalgia of the rest of us for their less endearing eccentricities. A great antidote to Downton Abbey." (Mary Beard) Exploring the extraordinary social and political dominance enjoyed by the British aristocracy over the centuries, Entitled seeks to explain how a tiny number of noble families rose to such a position in the first place. It reveals the often nefarious means they have employed to maintain their wealth, power and prestige and examines the greed, ambition, jealousy and rivalry which drove aristocratic families to guard their interests with such determination. In telling their history, Entitled introduces a cast of extraordinary characters: fierce warriors, rakish dandies, political dilettantes, charming eccentrics, arrogant snobs and criminals who quite literally got away with murder.
Mr Disraeli's 'Rattle'
He called her disparagingly a 'flirt and a rattle'. She was a wealthy widow looking for adventure. He was a young Jew, twelve years her junior but willing to play. Neither of them knew then that one day he would say, I owe this lady all'. Queen Victoria called the new Mrs Disraeli 'vulgar' but created her a Viscountess. Their love story threads its way through Victorian society -- dazzling, powerful and exciting -- and ends amongst the beech trees of Buckinghamshire. We meet the great people of that age: see them through the sharp, amused eyes of an eccentric, one time little milliner whose love created a great prime minister and a great statesman.
