description: "It was John Harris' mournful voice that tolled out the catalogue of demolition in 'The Destruction of the Country House' exhibition at the Victoria &amp; Albert Museum, that devastating show that effectively launched Britain's 'Heritage' movement in 1974. His morbid fascination with [Britain's] empty, derelict, and dying country houses in the late 1940s and 1950s is the principal theme of this intensely romantic, poignant, angry, frequently hilarious, and hauntingly illustrated memoir."
