Lady Victoria Sackville was born in 1862, the illegitimate daughter of a Spanish dancer and Lionel Sackville-West, a distinguished British diplomat. Part of the fascination of her story is how that irregular birth affected her life and how she learned to triumph over its liabilities and skillfully manipulate its assets to her advantage. She enchanted the major artistic and political figures of her time.
