From the prairies of Indiana to the coast of Denmark, "Country Escapes" tours you through 32 beautiful rural houses that embody the spirit of their location, each lavishly illustrated and vividly described by an acclaimed interiors writer. The first section, Traditional, focuses on heritage locations from a Texas farmhouse to an 18th-centruy island chateau. Rustic looks at homes where wood and other natural materials predominate, while Romantic highlights a hilltop village house in Provence and other truly feminine abodes. Simply Tranquil takes a look at pared-down architecture including a classic Scandinavian interior recreated in Connecticut. *An inspiring tribute to rural homes and the magical allure of country living, illustrated with 350 full-colour images. *Each of the homes is described in detail by one of a team of top interior writers, headed by Bo Niles and Katherine Sorell.
