"Chronicles a remarkable group of houses and castles that have survived the vicissitudes of Ireland's history and are still in the hands of their original families. From breakfront cabinets filled with generations of monogrammed heirloom china to canopy beds keeping the chill of an Irish winter at bay to cabbage-rose slip-covered sofas nestled under tall Gothic windows, this book takes the reader on a tour of these residences, many of which have never been published before, providing an intimate look at 'a marvellous hotchpotch of rooms and decoration.'" (dj) The houses are: Birr Castle, Huntington Castle, Burtown House, Killruddery, Tarbert House, Glin Castle, Lisnavagh, Killadoon, Tullynally, and Clandeboye. Lavishly illustrated, as you may expect.
