One of the most remarkable men of the 18th century; Lancelot lsquo;Capabilityrsquo; Brown was known to many as lsquo;The Omnipotent Magicianrsquo; who could transform unpromising countryside into beautiful parks that seemed to be only the work of nature. His list of clients included half the House of Lords; six Prime Ministers and even royalty. Although his fame has dimmed; we still enjoy many of his works today at National Trust properties such as Croome Park; Petworth; Berrington; Stowe; Wimpole; Blenheim Palace; Highclere Castle (location of the ITV series Downton Abbey) and many more.In Capability Brown; author and garden historian Sarah Rutherford tells his triumphant story; uncovers his aims and reveals why he was so successful. Illustrated throughout with colour photographs of contemporary sites; historical paintings and garden plans; this is an accessible book for anyone who wants to know more about the man who changed the face of the nation and created a landscape style which for many of us defines the English countryside.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. No print linkBy Florida KayakerFlower Garden is a Speedy Publishing book and all of the Speedy Publishing Kindle coloring books seem to the same. You get 17 very simple designs that you cannot color but are meant to be a preview of the real book. You also get a link to download the images from 12 other books. These are the same books that you get when you purchase a Kindle coloring book from Jupiter Kids.The issue is that you get no print link to this book. For that reason I dont see a point in having to wade through all of the Speedy Publishing books and Jupiter Kids books to get to the real Kindle coloring books0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Nice coloring pages. Easy to print.By AnyaThese coloring books as so convenient to have in a kindle access. I can open a link and print out as many coloring pages for my kids as I want to. and theyre very easy to access. Having portability is very convenient. all I need is access to a printer and I can print as much as I need. A great thing for a mom with three kids on summer vacation!!Disclosure: I received this product for free or on a promotional discount for my honest review and they are 100% my own opinions.
