Item Number: 126788 Title: An Exuberant Catalogue of Dreams : The Americans who Revived the Country House in Britain Author: Aslet, Clive Price: Not Available ISBN: 9781781310946 Description: London: Aurum, 2013. 28cm., hardcover, 208pp. illus. Summary : To a modern visitor nothing will seem more British than a classic country house like Cliveden or Leeds Castle. But the truth is actually very different. That such fabulous places exist in their present form – or in the case of, say, Blenheim, survive in the ownership of the family – is as much as anything down to American money and taste. Now, for the first time, Clive Aslet’s magnificent book reveals the extent of this remarkable phenomenon. We regret to inform you that this title is no longer available. P.O.
