HOUSES OF GUINNESS (SCALA) (HB)

Bestselling author and historian Adrian Tinniswood explores the legendary Guinness family - brewers, philanthropists, socialites - through their mansions and town houses, such as Farmleigh and Luggala in Ireland, and Biddesden and Kenwood in the UK. In the stories of more than a dozen great Guinness houses, Tinniswood reveals what life was like for a dynasty that rose from ordinary beginnings in Georgian Dublin to become one of the most powerful families in the British Isles. This engaging history is abundantly illustrated with a selection of new and archival photographs and paintings.
