'An entertaining and instructive survey.' -- John Martin Robinson Spectator 'You'll find more reasons to love castles if you turn to the lavish pages of Twentieth Century Castles in Britain. I am of an age and disposition when a newsagent's top shelf is of only passing interest, but well-produced books on architecture and interior design, historic buildings and grand landscapes are guaranteed to get my pulse racing... There is plenty here to fuel the imagination of anyone who would be master or mistress of a castle.' -- Alan Titchmarsh Sunday Telegraph 'The author has uncovered a seam of architecture that speaks to a deep need in the human spirit.' Country Life 5 stars:'Full of stunningly beautiful colour photographs that will inspire plans for weekend visits to these incredible buildings.' Scottish Field 'The pieced together stories throw up little gems.' RIBA Journal 'frisky, sun-lit tome celebrating the reinvention and revival of the British castle over the past hundred years.' World of Interiors 'An enjoyable account of a much overlooked subject. This lavishly illustrated book embraces the stories both of castles which were either built anew or ancient and revived as habitable country houses to a degree they can be thought of as 20th-century castles.'
