Country houses of England = Landhäuser in England = Les maisons romantiques d'Angleterre

Literature and film have created the classic image of the English country house: neat cottages or huge mansions in harmony with their green and pleasant surroundings, quiet farming villages unchanged for decades. This beautiful volume, with its lavish photographs of the interiors and exteriors of a wide variety of contemporary country houses, proves that this aspect of England is still very much alive. "Country Houses of England" features all kinds of residences, from manor houses and cottages to converted barns and keeper's lodges, as well as the homes of the famous such as Chawton Cottage, once the abode of that great observer of country life, Jane Austen.
