In 1926 Barry Dierks, a young American architect, arrived in Paris & fell in love with France... With his partner, an ex-officer in the British Army, he built a white, flat-roofed Modernist masterpiece that rested on the rocks below the Esterel, with views across the Mediterranean. They called it Le Trident. From the moment it was built, it captivated the Riviera. As commissions for more villas flooded in, Barry Dierks & Eric Sawyer, ”those two charmers”, flourished at the heart of Riviera society. Over the years, Dierks would design & build over 70 of the Riviera`s most recognisable villas for clients ranging from Somerset Maugham`s Villa Mauresque & Jack Warner`s Villa Aujourd`hui to the Marquess of Cholmondeley`s Villa Le Roc, & Maxine Elliott`s Chateau de l` Horizon, later the home of Aly Khan & Rita Hayworth. Riviera Dreaming tells the dazzling story of the lives, loves & adventures that played out behind the walls of these glamorous houses & provides an unparalleled portrait of life on the Cote d` Azur at the height of the Jazz Age. ...

” The spread of the towns, the disforesting of the hills, & other causes are conspiring to destroy many of the conditions which made the Riviera of former days so happy a resort for the lovers of Nature. But there will always be much to observe & much to study in so favoured a region.” Quirky, erudite & eminently readable, the fifty-four essays comprising Riviera Nature Notes give an astonishingly clear picture of plant & animal life in the South of France at the turn of the twentieth century--not to mention a fascinating insight into the social mores of the time. A hundred years later the book is as fresh, topical & inviting as when it was first published. Preferring to remain anonymous as a naturalist, not only out of modesty but to guard the integrity of his liturgical writings, its clergyman author speaks of olives & pines, myrtles & figs, mosquitoes & rare butterflies--to name but a few of his subjects--with such passion & verve as to bring the land from the Ligurian coastline to the Maritime Alps vividly alive. Published first at the expense of Sir Thomas Hanbury, master of the famed gardens at La Mortola, Italy & benefactor of the Royal Horticultural Society`s sixty-acre estate at Wisley, a second edition incorporated photographs taken by the temperamental & extravagant heiress Ellen Wilmot, in many ways a greater figure in the plant world than her close contemporary Gertrude Jekyll. Our anonymous author moved in the best horticultural & botanical circles, wore his learning lightly, & unusually for the time, spoke to the common man & the general reader on equal terms. With an engaging, sometimes acerbic, always entertaining & informative voice speaking effortlessly across the years, he will once again garner admirers among nature lovers, gardeners & travellers alike. ...
