A fine clean First Edition copy of "The Country House Guide : Family Homes in The Historic Houses Association", by Anna Sproule and Michael Pollard, published by Century Hutchinson of London in 1988. The Historic Houses Association represents nearly all the houses in Britain open to the public that are not owned by the National Trust. They range from large, world-famous houses like Castle Howard and Blenheim Palace, to enchanting, lesser-known manor houses like Great Dixter and Sheldon Manor, but all have in common that they are still family homes, often inhabited by families who have lived in them for centuries. This guide to over 200 such houses stresses the personal connection. It places the emphasis firmly on the stories behind the houses' occupants and the furniture, paintings and other objects with which they have surrounded themselves. Fine academic yet readable text, complemented by an excellent selection of black and white illustrations. Hard covers, 320 pages, original dust jacket. Ref. TCHGASAMP/E2.
