In telling the stories of these places, the book touches on the lives of the people who worked in them, designed them and owned them - people such as Prince Charles, Capability Brown, Gertrude Jekyll, Edith Wharton and Agatha Christie. Illustrated with more than 200 outstanding colour photographs and expert captions, Amazing

of the World not only champions the splendour of the world's most magnificent
gardens
but also reveals many fascinating stories about the history of these places and the people who created them."--From publisher.
