Collection Team Column: Laura Guldeman – Keep calm and Downton on!

Laura_GuldemanHave you found yourself purchasing clotted cream at the grocery store? Or maybe you've been talking in a British accent and ordering random strangers to "bring the car round." If you are, then you may be suffering from withdrawal of BBC's hit show, "Downton Abbey."

In an attempt to fend off this season's withdrawal, I have compiled a list of titles to keep us avid fans symptom-free. If you miss the romance, may I prescribe Lady Catherine, the Earl, and the Real Downton Abbey as well as Jo Baker's Longbourn. If Mrs. Patmores' cooking is what's lacking in your diet then take a peek at Edwardian Cooking: 80 Recipes Inspired by Downton Abbey's Elegant Meals. If a lack of downstairs drama is what you ail from then cozy up with a copy of Jacky Hyams The Real Life Downton Abbey: How Life Was Really Lived in Stately Homes a Century Ago. If your symptoms persist, take a look at the long list of Downton Abbey read-a-likes.
