In his stunning memoir, Anthony Russell takes us inside his childhood growing up at Leeds Castle, with luxury and opulence few can imagine, and how he found his way in a changing society. Once home to Kings and Queens, Leeds Castle fell into disrepair for nearly a century until it was restored to its former glory by Anthony Russell's grandmother, Lady Baillie. Here, surrounded by a moat and sprawling grounds, Anthony spent his childhood in the 1950s. It was a life of beauty and privilege, but for a shy boy often lonely. And, as Anthony reveals, it was perhaps not the best preparation for modern life beyond the castle's walls.
