Margaret Powell scored an immense hit with her autobiographical work, Below Stairs which detailed her life 'in service' to a wealthy family. It was so popular and the demand so great for this window on a forgotten world that it was followed by Climbing the Stairs and this, The Treasure Upstairs - meaning the best of servants. Now married, Margaret takes a series of jobs as a "daily" - chores and a few days a week cooking. She also gives her opinion on a variety of social issues of the day and reveals how she came to write Below Stairs. She writes as she speaks - with dry English wit and pithy observations on life and social issues of the day.
