FELLING THE ANCIENT OAKS: HOW ENGLAND LOST ITS GREAT COUNTRY ESTATES
Published by Aurum Press. 1st. 2011
Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. The author chronicles twenty of England's most sadly lost estates, telling the history of the aristocratic dynasty that founded them, explaining the nexus of mercantile and economic circumstances that led to their often fabulously prosperous peak, and then tracing the various and occasionally outlandish reasons for their decline and eventual dissolution. Large format. Green cloth boards, silver title to spine. Pictorial endpapers. B/w photos. 207 pages including index.
Light rubbing to base of spine else a lovely copy. Pictorial dustwrapper is lightly rubbed at corners.
