The principles of the Arts and Crafts Movement--simplicity, utility, handicraft, natural materials and vernacular forms--had wonderful consequences in the gardens of its practitioners, as the many color plates in this volume attest. Tankard (landscape history, Harvard) documents the movement's influence on landscape architecture with examples, such as the gardens of William Morris and Gertrude Jekyll, and discussions of Arts and Crafts art, architecture and interior design. In addition to the color plates, the text contains drawings and garden plans. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
