His wordpainting is so vivid, I imagine I'm sitting in a room furnished with astronomically priced antiques, sampling caviar with my 50 servants by my side. Perfectly charming and entertaining. I recommend this book highly. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1170835?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
