Seller's Description:
VG-(Wraps are lightly edgeworn; textblock is lightly scuffed; interior is clean; binding is solid. ) Brown wraps with color illustration; [8], 140 pp.; richly illustrated. "The life of Sir Francis Willoughby might be considered by many to have been a disaster. His courtly ambitions were never fulfilled. He fell seriously into debt and attempted several business ventures which all failed. He experienced years of bitter wrangling in an unhappy marriage and died without the male heir he longed for...The sole clear achievement to emerge from this sorry career was that he instigated the building of one of Europe's greatest examples of Renaissance architecture. This book relates the history of the Willoughby family and their relationship with the great house that was at once their glory and the source of their greatest problem: debt."--back cover.
