The Critic |
'The volume is beautifully illustrated, featuring both historical images and commissioned photography by Hélène Binet. Binet captures the essence of these country houses, highlighting both their architectural features and the personal stories that haunt their walls. Combining visual treats with succinct, scholarly essays, allows what would otherwise be a dense and academic book to be delightfully readable, the images serving to provide us with a visual connection to the subjects discussed.'
