About This Book

A collection of reflective essays in which the author describes the selection, design, and atmosphere of a private house and its grounds, blending practical advice on siting, construction, and decoration with lyrical scenes of the surrounding garden and river. Chapters address ideal architectural features, seasonal changes, indoor gardening, windows and furnishings, and the cultivation of reading rooms and book collections, while occasional digressions consider aesthetic influences, decorative detail, and the domestic qualities that transform a dwelling into a home.
