4.0 out of 5 stars
Not bad at all,
By Lupo Montegrigio (Stockholm, Sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Edith Wharton's Italian Gardens (Hardcover)
This is not the ultimate writing on Italian gardens, nor the most sumptuos as a coffee-table book. But you can do a lot worse than this when you search for garden books on Italy. And then there is the added dimension that Mrs Wharton drove up to these places a hundred years ago and had a look around. Gentle people alledgedly just showed up "never mind us, we're just here for a stroll in your lovely garden", not recommended today...
Photographs are very good/good. The selection of gardens covers the major part of the most celebrated, with a few minor ones added. No sites south of Rome alas, put the blame on Edith.

Edith Wharton's Italian Gardens,
This review is from: Edith Wharton's Italian Gardens (Hardcover)
With plenty of pics, this book is good for a casual flick through or a more careful read. The photographs of the gardens are stunning and inspire a desire to visit in person.
