The autobiography of Lady Margaret Barry, daughter of the 6th Earl of Radnor, gives a revealing insight into aristocratic childhood in Edwardian England but is a far cry from the life she and her husband adopted ih the 1920s and 1930s, creating a farm and family home on a tract on untamed land on the veldt of what was then Rhodesia.
