I bought this book back in 2002 on a trip to Britain and I found it on my shelf while I was looking for some bedtime reading. It's published by the National Trust and features photos and a brief history of 25 of the most splendid historic houses in their collection.
Between classic British mysteries and classic British fiction, I've spent a lot of literary time in English Country houses. This book helps put a face to those bland mentions of East Wings, libraries, withdrawing rooms, and drafty Great Halls. So this is what"classic" wealth looks like.
