Description: Hardback. Slight foxing to end inside covers. Slight wear to top edge of spine of cloth. Wear and tear to D/J. Couple of small pieces of D/J. missing. In this book more than a score of royal houses near London are described and illustrated, and the author draws attention to the episodes in the life stories of the sovereigns of England which have tangible connection with these houses. The author stresses not only the historical associations of these houses but also their architectural beauties, and as most of them are easily accessible from London, his book opens up a new field for those interested in visiting historical places. His illustrations are reprodcutions of sketches made on the spot and profess to be representations of buildings and views as seen quite recently. Illustrations. 220 pp. Hand cut pages. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. Academic, Scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.)
