The Architect and His Wife

A lively new biography of the greatest English architect since Christopher Wren. Edwin Lutyens (18691944) designed the Cenotaph in Whitehall, vast Imperialist buildings in India (including much of New Delhi), Queen Mary's dolls' house and Hampstead Garden Suburb. But his greatest heritage is the traditional Edwardian country house. This is the full biography of this witty, complex man who had little formal education, loved jokes and hated growing up. It was authorized by his last surviving daughter, Mary, who died last year.JANE RIDLEY is the author of 'The Architect and His Wife' with ISBN 9780701172015 and ISBN 0701172010.
