Media Reviews
The book is written in an easy-going, almost chatty style that takes the reader on a journey through the centuries. It is like a slow perambulation around an English country garden in the company of a knowledgeable gardener, which indeed Sackville-West became. There are even touches of humor....English Country Houses is a welcome addition for the shelves of anyone with an interest in English history. Although the country house landscape has seen some major changes over the last seventy years or so, its history remains the same, and the skillful way in which Sackville-West pulls all the strands together makes this book a useful resource and a highly enjoyable read. --The Historian
