This beautifully crafted book proudly showcases 25 of the most notable examples of Arts and Crafts-style country homes throughout Britain (and beyond). The introductory essay by architectural historian Aslet (editor at large, Country Life; The English House: The Story of a Nation at Home) provides an excellent overview of the young architects and designers-including Edwin Lutyens, Det-mar Blow, Gertrude Jekyll, and Baillie Scott-who shaped the Arts and Crafts movement around the turn of the 20th century and designed these magnificent homes and gardens.
