He has collaborated with local craftsmen to create these follies and takes delight in designing the picturesque grounds and plantings and in devising comfortable areas for his beloved dogs and peacocks.

To accompany the book's atmospheric images, close friend Bunny Williams writes about the lessons she has learned from this master of discernment.
