Eight of the most beautifuland historic stately homes in England are brought together as never before in "The treasure houses of England". It is a unique pictorial record of these incomparable centres of British heritage, an unforgettable journey through a noble past, and a fitting tribute to the architectural genius which brought them to life. In the words of the Duke of Marlborough, taken from his foreword to the book : "If there is one single word which sums up the importance of the English country home, it is this : heritage... "The treasure houses of England" is a celebration of that heritage. Through words and images it seeks to capture the mood and atmosphere of these magnificient residences, the perfection of their settings, and that quite unmistakable aura which marks the solemn passage of years". The estates themselves are depicted in nearly seventy evocative images which highlight both the perfection of the architecture and the beauty of the surrounding countryside. In addition to this, the most advanced photographic techniques and equipment have been applied to produce eight breathtaking gatefolds nearly one metre in length which captures the estates in all their true splendour. And to add the final touch, each of the statley homes is introduced personally by its owner, giving an intimate portrait of a very British way of life.
