When Peter York and Anne Barr wrote The Official Sloane Ranger Handbook, they were responsible for the birth of a phenomenon: the Sloane. A generation on Peter York - 'The Nancy Mitford of our time,'(Financial Times) - has spotted a new trend in British society. From Camilla and Charles to Zac Goldsmith and David Cameron posh is back in vogue and bigger than ever. But who are the new generation Sloanes and what exactly do they do From what they wear, where they live, who they love and how they lunch, SR II is the only handbook to the heart of British society. One simply cannot afford to miss it.
Peter York is Britain's original style guru. Style Editor of Harpers & Queen for a decade he currently writes a column for the Independent on Sunday. His book, Dictators' Homes was published by Atlantic in 2005. Olivia Stewart-Liberty is a novelist and journalist.
