This is the second year that I have ordered a Downton Abbey Page-A-Day calendar. The 2015 calendar was a thoroughly enjoyable surprise and treat for this Downton fan. I had expected nice pictures, and maybe a few brief descriptions, but what I actually received was far, far more delightful. This calendar does indeed contain many lovely pictures, many reminding one of special moments during an episode of Downton. I refer specifically to those which include Dame Maggie Smith.There are many pages scattered throughout the calendar which show a picture of her, and some other poor soul, the recipient of yet another of Ms. Smiths legendary Downton put-downs. Each of these pages is priceless. Just a picture, the Dowager Countess, and one of her.....shall we say victims, with the withering quip listed under the photo. I laugh aloud as I rip the old date page from the calendar to reveal yet another page featuring the Dowager at work, as only she is capable of doing. Indeed, I had a very difficult time preventing myself from immediately paging through the entire calendarr, just in search of more of her lady-like, yet scathing utterances. However, I remained strong, did not page ahead, and was well-rewarded for my patience by the enjoyment that I obtained from an entire year's worth of unexpected "funnies".In addition to the presence of the addictive Dowager Countess, there are many, many pages crammed with the most interesting of historical information from the period. Every topic of the time that could be covered, seems to have been covered.
