Martha's Vineyard, one of our country's most beautiful islands, is year-round residence or summer home to devotees from the world over. Only a few miles off the shore of Cape Cod, the Vineyard comprises six towns, each with a distinct personality, revealed in its homes and gardens. Reflecting the incredible diversity of the island's topography as well as the heritages bestowed upon it by its earliest settlers -- American Indians, English explorers and missionaries, Portuguese fishermen and whalers -- the island's treasures are revealed through the pictures of award-winning photographer Taylor Lewis. Together with Catherine Fallin and Elizabeth Talbot, he has captured the island's richness of architectural styles, interior design, and gardens. In evocative words and stunning color photographs, we are taken on a tour inside the most special Vineyard houses; down winding sandy lanes and behind garden gates to the island's most delectable gardens. Portrayed in elegant detail are some of the oldest houses on the Vineyard, dating from 1682 in Edgartown and the early 1700s in Chilmark, Vineyard Haven, and Indian Hill; whimsical VictoriaTalbot, Elizabeth is the author of 'Martha's Vineyard: Garden and Houses - Catherine Fallin - Hardcover - REISSUE' with ISBN 9780671881061 and ISBN 067188106X.
