This collection of exquisite photographs and illuminating writings invites readers into the favorite rooms of some of England's most revered celebrities. Everyone has a treasured place to read, study, work, and dream--but there's something special about an English room. In this handsome volume filled with perceptive photographs, some of England's most renowned figures share their favorite spaces and their personal musings about Englishness and English rooms. Benedict Cumberbatch reveals his favorite place to read a script; Jeanette Winterson describes why she adores the Shakespeare and Company bookstore in Paris; P. D. James discusses the inspiration for her novel The Black Tower; and fashion designer Paul Smith contemplates the joys of his book-lined study. Gilbert & George invite you into their Queen Anne house, while Alan Bennett explains his rumpled existence in Primrose Hill. Derry Moore's discerning eye captures the essence of the English room, whether in a country cottage, large estate, ancient chapel, or artist studio at home or abroad. All those with a passion for English culture, society, design, and fashion will take pleasure in this unique view into the private lives of some of England's most public figures.

{PRETITLE} An English Room {POSTTITLE}

Richly bound, beautiful photographs, it even smells rich. Printed in Slovakia, this gen does not disappoint. Cumberbatch on cover sells!

By Jacqueline U. Estes

Initially you might think that this book is not for everybody, but, the cover is fantastic so it makes a great coffee table book. English actor Benedict Cumberbatch, featured on the cover, is familiar to all Americans from his work in 'Sherlock' and 'Star Trek' among many other roles, so he is instantly recognizable. Some of the people featured may not be familiar at first, but their stories are interesting and worth enjoying. The photography is marvelous and makes for a relaxing thumb-through at the end of the day. You'll surely find something a bit new in these pages as it is not you usual American decorating book! You'll get plenty of inspiration, but perhaps not in the way you expect.
