For over a century, Country Life magazine has been influential in the world of British garden design; however, it has also showcased fine gardens abroad, particularly those of the Mediterranean region. In this handsome volume, the gardens of 35 glorious locations are presented in 200 photographs; accompanying the images are the stories behind each garden's creation and development. We visit the grand private residences of Greece, Spain, and Italy, as well as the iconic gardens of the French Riviera-including Villa Maryland on Cap Ferrat, La Leopolda at Beaulieu, Edith Wharton's own villa garden at Hy?res, and Auguste Renoir's home at Cagnes-sur-mer. The book also takes us, uniquely, to the fabled colonial and Arabic gardens of Algeria-long out of bounds to present generations-which the author revisited and re-photographed in 2005. A stunning survey of Mediterranean treasures for all garden lovers. Kathryn Bradley-Hole is the Gardens Editor of Country Life. Her previous book was the...

The success of the first edition of this book and its subsequent reprint has demonstrated the demand and created the opportunity for a new, enlarged edition. A great deal of the new content directly reflects the interest expressed by the media in their requests for articles, radio and TV interviews following the original publication. Particular interest has been generated in garden tools and accessory items, terracotta wares, cast-iron containers, garden furniture and all manner of related novelties. Clearly there is an enthusiasm to know more about the everyday garden related items which are likely to have been made in the last hundred years or so. Perhaps less accessible but certainly of current interest is the desire for 'antique' garden structures. This is evident from the number of garden make-over programmes introducing the concept of incorporating pergolas, gazebos, arbours and summer houses. The book will include over 100 new colour illustrations and additional black and white...

The Basics Illustration series explores key areas of illustration through a series of case studies juxtaposed with key creative 'basics'. Contemporary work is supported by concise descriptions, enabling the reader to fully understand the work being discussed. "Sequential Images" is Mark Wigan's second book in his essential series of handbooks on contemporary illustration. Following Thinking Visually, Wigan identifies sequential image-making as a rich area of original and innovative work, which is leading the resurgence in the art of illustration.
