Beschreibung:
"Wanstead and its Park", is a new edition of an Edwardian classic by Oliver S Dawson, with contemporary photographs and other illustrations. It offers a fascinating introduction to one of England's lost treasures - a great Palladian house and its famous landscaped gardens. It tells of the remarkable people who owned the Wanstead estate, and the extravagance and folly which brought about its destruction. It ends with the Corporation of London's rescue of the park's core, with its lakes and woods, as a public open space. The book includes a fascinating newly-researched account of the author's life as well as comprehensive notes on his text. A must for local history and garden history enthusiasts.
