Looks at 26 of the most notable great houses in Ireland, "showing them in their wonderfully romantic settings and with an acute eye for the striking detail. Hugh Montgomery-Massingherd brings the buildings to life, telling the story of their creation with many amusing anecdotes about their owners. Ireland's unrivalled heritage of Classical country house architecture was for a long time misunderstood and under-appreciated. This exceptionally handsome book is well timed to chronicle the significant shift that has occurred in attitudes to these temples of truly Irish craftsmanship." (dj).
