'Full of delightful stories...a wonderful insight into the British obsession with al fresco eating' - Travel Gourmet

From the peaks of the Himalayas to the historic grounds of Hampton Court, there’s always a perfect spot for a picnic!

Anne Glenconner invites both old friends and new acquaintances to join her in The Picnic Papers. Featuring contributions from Bryan Adams, Graham Norton, Lorraine, Rupert Everett, Tina Brown, Freya Stark and many more, they explore the curious British obsession with dining alfresco, despite our famously unpredictable weather.

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 Lees-Milne simply loathed them.

Brimming with extraordinary tales and a few nostalgic recipes (though this is not a recipe book!) Lady Glenconner’s The Picnic Papers is an invitation to a delightful feast of memories and culinary delights.

Her memoir, Lady in Waiting: My Extraordinary Life in the Shadow of the Crown, offered readers a riveting glimpse into her glamorous life, selling over 250,000 copies in the UK. With her subsequent books also achieving great success, Lady Glenconner's enchanting stories and genuine warmth have made her a beloved figure in the media and among the British public.
