The end of season three of Masterpiece Theater's Downton Abbey has left a hole in my life. I miss all the drama between and within the classes and the reminders every week that life is made up of love and heartbreak, birth and death -- predicaments that can usually be explained by a witty one-liner from Maggie Smith. I miss the manners, manicured lawns and the fabulous dresses and hats. Fortunately, the Edwardian period of Downton Abbey is so fascinating and dynamic that old and new writers have been drawn to both tell its stories, and Anythink has many books to fill the gap until Season 4.
