British Tradition takes us to the heart of the design typical of the British Isles. This book not only reveals where palaces, castles, manor houses and apartments are to be found in the countryside and in cities, but also elucidates their architecture and history, including the classical furniture and accessories that are a hallmark of this bastion of traditional living. And because the British have a knack for making themselves feel at home even beyond their own four walls, we will also visit places that convey the feeling of a "home away from home", such as shops, ships and restaurants.
