From Folly to Follies: Discovering the World of Gardens

Rating:
Summary: The title does not do it justice. This book is a gem!
Review: Hardcover, 238 pages, 11" x 14", color pictures.

The book is chock-full of stunning Gardens, Landscapes, and ARCHITECTURE, ARCHITECTURE, ARCHITECTURE! Palladian bridges, monuments, and mystical grottos all in beautifully landscaped settings. There are fantastic larger-than-life statues. A cascading waterfall as far as the eye can see. It amazes me how some of these structures (& gardens) were ever created in the first place...and at what a cost!

This book will be a good addition to the art books on your coffee table.
