CLASSIC RIVER OAKS:
This is a wonderful book on a gorgeous subject. The text is very interesting and the images are crisp and well conceived. As anyone who has visited the gardens at Bayou Bend can tell attest, this place is simply breathtaking. The mansion and grounds are part of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, as bequeathed by Miss Hogg. The gardens were her passion, she looked after them and the home as if they were her children. The gardens are a study in landscape design, they follow the meandering of the stream, or bayou, as Houstonians call them. I highly suggest visiting Bayou Bend in April when the azaleas are in full bloom, it really is a sight to behold, and bring this book with you, it makes a wonderful companion for the trip. Highly recommended to anyone with an appreciation for beautiful things.
