Photographs by Andrew Lawson. The Rothschild family has had almost as much influence on landscape as on the social and political world over the past 200 years. Miriam Rothschild, granddaughter of the first Lord Rothschild, has written other books on the subject and is devoted to wildflowers. This book explores the great estates of the Rothschilds from historical and modern perspectives. Anecdotes abound in this study of flowers, shrubs, fruits and vegetables. Experience views usually saved for the royal, rich and famous. Like new. Hb, Dj. Dutton. 1997. $10.00
