- Note
- "Covering eighteen Americans and their houses--from the captivating May Goelet and Floors castle in Scotland to the big game hunter Willie James and West Dean Park on the south coast--he illustrates the varied destinies by which stupendously wealthy Americans ended up owning great stately piles, and the variety of transformations they wrought upon them."--Jacket flap.
