Lavishly illustrated with colour photography and black and white illustrations. "Follows in the footsteps of those who designed and constructed the great gardens of Europe and those who over the centuries have found pleasure in them. Through new and previously unpublished photos, this beautiful volume re-creates the atmosphere the owners and their guests must have felt as they walked through the gardens, and captures the fleeting, ephemeral moment that is a garden." - from dust jacket. English translation of the French first edition, "De folie en folies". Clean, bright and unmarked with negligible wear. Slight lean to spine. Dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart cover. Lovely copy of this beautiful work..
