-- Gillian Tindall, Times Literary Supplement (London)
"Well written and beautifully illustrated...a social history that embraces many themes and raises many important questions."
-- Douglas Johnson, The Spectator (London)
"Mark Girouard has the architectural expertise, the descriptive skill and the social connections to make a lucid and exemplary guide to this world."
-- Julian Barnes, The Literary Review (London)
