The House: Living at Chatsworth

History

The Duchess of Devonshire

Europe

Holt; Rinehart; Winston

Four hundred years in the making, the garden at Chatsworth House, Derbyshire, seat of the dukes of Devonshire, is a magnet for millions--from Jane Austen, who is rumored to have enshrined it in Pride and Prejudice, to today's visitors from all corners of the globe. In The Garden at Chatsworth the duchess herself tells the story of its many parts with a light, urbane touch that belies her formidable historical and horticultural knowledge. Magnificent color photographs by Gary Rogers, authoritative text, and endpaper maps bring alive the garden's 105 acres--from statuary to topiary, from fountains to floral vistas.

A personal and horticultural tour of the 400-year-old gardens at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire. The Dowager Duchess of Devonshire's anecdotal text takes the reader on a stroll through a garden that includes parterres and vistas, water in all its forms, rockeries and trees, a working kitchen garden and statuary, as well as planted borders. The history of the garden is described, incorporating the creation, the changes and the restorations both the Duke and Duchess have made, "in the spirit of the place". The Dowager Duchess of Devonshire has lived at Chatsworth since 1950.
