A beautifully written and photographed romp through some of the world's most secretive, seductive, and incredible places. In The Secret Life of Hidden Places, we're led on a global tour of the world's most amazing spaces and places--some hidden, others well known but secreted nonetheless--including manors, palaces, tunnels, rooms, staircases, and tombs. The author's lyrical prose, accompanies by captivating photographs, transports the reader to mysterious, alluring destinations--such as a mystically beautiful room made of amber last seen in a German palace during World War II, an English sunken manor build by a reclusive royal, an ancient well in Portugal constructed by the Knights Templar, and an underground bone chamber in Sweden. Each of The Secret Life's 19 chapters is about a place, but also a person or people whose passion and obsessions led them to create something magical and spectacular that survived, either in story or structure.
