About the Book

These volumes recount an odyssey through country houses in the years following World War II. Most had been requisitioned by the armed forces and, when de-requisitioned, were left to stand empty awaiting their owners' return. It was then that John Harris first discovered country houses. In the second volume, he broadens his sights, sometimes straying into Europe or as far off as Malaya and the USA. He was one of the curators of the The Destruction of the Country House 1875–1975 exhibition at the V&A.

Both books are in very good condition, with a little light wear to the wrappers, and a few clipping neatly inserted to the first book.
