Publisher's original colour illustrated card wrap covers [soft back]. 8vo. 8½'' x 6''. Contains 208 pp with cheap paper browning. The Pastons were one of Norfolk's most prominent families in the Middle Ages and Tudor periods and have a remarkable rags to riches story. Using education, good business sense and pioneering entrepreneurial spirit, the Paston family broke through the social barriers of the day to rise from humble country origins to the inner circles of the Tudor and Stuart courts. They provide first hand testimonies of extraordinary resilience to the turbulent times they lived in, especially the women whose courage and fortitude played a key role in their success. They were, in many ways, the first modern family. Plus 20 pp pamphlet by Herbert Loraine 'Some Notes on the Church of St. Margaret and the Paston Family' with writing to the rear cover, plus 8'' x 5½'' sketch of Stow Mill, Paston, Norfolk by Paul Hannah.
