Reviewer: Forrest W. Schultz
This is one of the most interesting and most unusual and best written books I have ever read -- and I have read over a thousand books! It is a narration by a British butler about his life and about the discussions he and other butlers had concerning the qualities which a butler and a lord should have. It is no wonder that this book has earned so many awards, the most recent being of the Nobel Prize for Literature.
