Description:

Ardent lovers of landscape scenery will delight in Under the Spell of the Ages: Australian Country Gardens which showcases 25 of Australia’s most elegant and exquisite historic gardens. Including eloquent and insightful essays which link a range of well-known Australian writers, artists and photographers who were inspired by their landscape, this publication is lavishly illustrated with images from the National Library’s collections. Australia’s leading garden design photographer and writer Trisha Dixon brings to life the beauty of gardens such as those of Brindabella Station, Elsey Station, Wallcliffe House, Heide and The Cedars, locating them in time and place as she draws on the work of writers such as Banjo Paterson, Patrick White, Miles Franklin, Mary Gilmore and Louisa Meredith, as well as on a wide variety of memoirs, diaries and letters.
