A Family at War - The Talbots of Little Gaddesden Brought up surrounded by aristocratic relatives the four Talbot siblings of Little Gaddesden House in Hertfordshire, England lived a life of luxury and privilege - until the start of the Great War of 1914 that changed their lives and that of their society forever. 'A Family at War' is an edited collection of extraordinary wartime letters written between Humphrey, Bridget, Geoffrey and Kathleen Talbot, interspersed with biography, which tells the story of a lost family and lost times. The last Talbots of Little Gaddesden had no offspring but evidence of their energetic, influential, if somewhat eccentric lives is still around us.
