About this product

Product Information

Warmonger, womanizer, and autocrat, Louis XIV may also have been history's most fanatical gardener. At Versailles, twelve miles outside Paris, France's self-styled "Sun King" created not only Europe's most lavish palace, but, beginning in 1661, the most extensive gardens the Western world has ever seen. Assisting Louis in this enterprise was the low-born gardener Andre Le Notre, whose character and temperament were as different from those of his sovereign as it is possible to conceive. Where Louis was ruthless and relentlessly driven, Le Notre was down to earth, witty and amiable - and also phenomenally talented. While Louis could strike fear into the highest in the land with just a look, Le Notre enjoyed the king's trust and friendship for more than 40 years. In this lavishly illustrated book, Ian Thompson tells more comprehensively than ever before the intertwined stories of an extraordinary garden and an extraordinary friendship.

    The Sun Kings Garden

    This is not a book for someone not having some prior knowledge of Louis XIV and the history of France. Alot of information is given with the assumption that little framework or background explanation is necessary. I found this to be an excellent book giving info on a topic rarely given more than brief over view. Highly recommeneded
