"This book is charming and fun to read. It is unique-a word I use with precision-in the way it bridges aspects of inte rior design and aspects of garden design. As a design in structor, I will find it useful for my own courses which em phasize the social history of landscape and architecture."
Robert B. Riley, Editor, Landscape Journal
"Ronald Rees brings together very neatly and deftly other wise seemingly unrelated topics ranging from fresco paint ing to medieval castles, from Berlin woolwork to Frank Lloyd Wright. The originality of his idea-focusing on the garden and how it has been integrated into the interior of houses-makes you wonder why nobody took the approach before because it seems so logical and appropriate."
Virginia Boyd, University of Wisconsin
