Lotusland: A Photographic Odyssey
Why go to Disneyland when you can visit Lotusland? If you've never heard of this unique garden 100 miles north of the Magic Kingdom, you may want to plan a detour to Santa Barbara next time you're in Southern California. Tours are limited; however, this book enables garden enthusiasts to tour year-round the crowning achievement of opera singer Ganna Walska, who spent more than 40 years designing and nurturing the 37-acre property she called home. William B. Dewey, Gregory L. Padgett, and Robert Glenn Ketchum are among the photographers whose breath-taking color images of the eclectic, surreal gardens contribute to this volume.
