This classic biography of a country house and the man of vision who created paradise in a wilderness is a beloved book of the late twentieth century.Thomas Johnes's rebuilding of the original mansion at Hafod with its Nash enlargement, his schemes for roadmaking and planting of three million trees, his advanced farming and horticultural methods, his printing press, library collection and exquisite furnishings, his extravagant entertainment of his guests led to inevitable financial ruin. Tragically he had to watch his vision fade and see his treasure taken away.Bibliographical note: There is an alternative cover to this first edition, which is white with a colour photograph to the centre.This is a biography of an 18thcentury country house and of the man who tamed the wild hills of west Wales to create a Roman idyll there. We live, said Thomas Johnes of Hafod, like peacocks in paradise. This serene image was on the surface only, as his life was marked by excess of all kinds.
