The Chinese Garden: History, Art & Architecture (ISBN: 0856704253 / 0-85670-425-3) Keswick, Maggie Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Academy Editions Ltd, London, 1986. Hardcover. Book Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 9 1/2" x 12 1/4" Tall. 216 pp. Red cloth boards show little wear and no marks. Jacket shows shelf wear on edges but no tears and is clean and bright. Book is straight, & tight with no dog ears. From the library of Ann Lovejoy; her name on upper outside edge of free endpaper is only mark noted. This book is the first attempt to explore the meanings that lie behind the Chinese gardens. It traces their origins back to the earliest records of Chinese civilisations. It is thus much more than a book on gardening, for the gardens of China provide unique insights into a great civilisation and an intimate glimpse of the lives of the people who lived and made it. Over 200 illustrations incl. 24 pages in colour. A nice reference or gift book. Over sized book may require additional postage.
